Quick Start Guide

Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the 16-Port or 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch. The
16-Port and 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switches provide non-blocking, wire-
speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients.

Front Panel

The 16-and 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switches differ in number of LEDs
and ports. The LEDs and ports are located on the front panel of the Switch.

System—(Green) The System LED lights when the Switch is powered on.

Link/Act—(Green) Each LED lights when there is a connection made through the
corresponding port. The LED also flashes when there is activity on the
corresponding port.

Gigabit—(Amber) Each LED lights when there is a Gigabit connection made
through the corresponding port. The LED flashes when there is activity on the
corresponding port.

1-16 (SR2016) or 1-24 (SR2024C)—The Ethernet ports connect to network
devices, such as PCs or additional switches. All ports are auto-negotiating and
have automatic MIDI/MIDI-X crossover detection.

Mini-GBIC 1-2 (SR2024C)—The SR2024C Switch is equipped with two mini-
GBIC ports. These ports provide links to high-speed network segments or
individual workstations at speeds of up to 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). These
ports are shared. If you use the mini-GBIC1 port, you cannot use port 12. If you
use the mini-GBIC2 port, you cannot use port 24.

Located on the side panel, the security slot is where you can attach a lock to
guard against theft.

Placement Options

There are three ways to physically install the Switch:

•

Set the Switch on its four rubber feet

•

Mount the Switch in a standard-sized rack (1U high)

•

Wall-mount the Switch using the wall-mount slots

Rack Mount Instruction Tips

•

Ambient Temperature—To prevent the switch from overheating, do not
operate the switch in an area that exceeds the recommended ambient
temperature.

•

Reduced Air Flow—If you install the switch in a rack, be sure that there is
adequate air flow as required.

•

Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the switch is level and stable when you
mount the switch in a rack to avoid any hazardous condition.

•

Circuit Overloading—Do not overload the power outlet or circuit when
installing multiple devices in a rack.

•

Reliable Grounding—Be sure that the switch is grounded and use suitable
electrical supply connections.

To rack mount the Switch, follow these instructions:

The wall-mount slots are two crisscross slots on the Switch’s
bottom panel. The distance between the two slots is 95 mm
(3.74 inches). Attach two screws to the wall, so that the Switch’s
wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.
