After all connections are completed, apply power to the switch. Connect Equipment to the Switch You can connect devices, a Gigabit Ethernet module, and/or a console to the switch.

Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached device to 328 feet (100 meters). Hardware Installation 19
