2.2.1 Connect to the computers or a LAN
You can use Ethernet cable to connect computers directly to the switch
ports. You can also connect hubs/switches to the switch ports by Ethernet
cables. You can use either the crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable
to connect computers, hubs, or switches.
Use a twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the 1000BASE-T
port. Otherwise, the link speed cannot reach 1Gbps.
2.2.2 Attach the power adapter

back of the switch. Plug the other end of the power cord into a wall
outlet or a power strip.
