Step 3: Checking the Installation

Before applying power to the switch, perform the following:

• Inspect the equipment thoroughly.

• Verify that all cables are installed correctly.

• Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard.

• Ensure all equipment is mounted properly and securely.

Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch

The following procedure describes how to connect PCs to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The GS108T

Smart Switch contains Auto Uplink technology, which allows the attaching of devices using either

connections.

Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached

device to 100 m (328 ft.).
