There are 2 slots reserved for optional 1000Base-T or 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet module installation. For more about the module, please refer to the installation guide of the module.
One DB-9 RS-232 console ports for terminal management.
One power inlet for 90~250V AC. 50~60Hz power supply.
One FAN for cooling the system.
Before you install the Switch, observe the pre-installation considerations in the following sections.
2.2.1 Fast Ethernet Topology ConsiderationsIf you will be using the Switch for Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) operation, observe the following guidelines:
The Switch provides full-duplex support for its Fast Ethernet ports. Full-duplex operation allows frames to be sent and received simultaneously, doubling a links potential data throughput.
If you will be using the Switch in full-duplex mode, the maximum UTP cable length is 100 meters (328 feet) over Category 5 cable.
2.2.3 Positioning the SwitchThe Switch is designed for office use, where it can be free standing, wall-mounted, or mounted in most standard 19-inch equipment racks. If you prefer, you can rack-mount the Switch in a wiring closet or equipment room using two mounting brackets and six screws.
When choosing a location for the Switch, observe the following guidelines:
The following procedure describes how to install the Switch in a standard 19-inch rack.
2.3.1 PrerequisitesFigure 2-3. Locating a Mounting Bracket
A single WGSW-2402 Switch can be mounted on a wall, using the following procedure.
2.4.1 PrerequisitesWhen you power-on the Switch, the Switch performs its Power-On Self Test (POST). During the POST, the Switch performs a series of diagnostic procedures to make sure the basic system is functioning with integrity. After the POST, the power LED will turns on steady, the related port will then work as they are. The accepted power range is 100V~250VAC, 50~60Hz, auto-sensing.
Note: | The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should active all the time, please consider use an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from data loss or network downtime. |

Note: | In some area, installing a surge suppression device may
also help to protect your Switch from being damaged by unregulated surge or current to the
Switch or the power adapter.
