Figure 2-6. Installing the BayStack 350T switch in a 19-inch rack
Connecting Port Cables
The switch ports are configured with RJ-45 (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX)
connectors that are wired as MDI-X ports. As in conventional Ethernet repeater
hubs, the BayStack 350T switch ports connect over straight-through cables to the
network interface controller (NIC) card in a node or server. When connecting to
an Ethernet hub or to another switch, you must use a crossover cable. Refer to
Appendix
B, “Connectors and Pin Assignments,” for more information.
By default, all of the BayStack 350T switch ports are set with the autonegotiation
feature enabled. This feature allows any port to match the best service provided by
the connected station, up to 100 Mb/s at full-duplex mode.
Caution: When mounting this device in a rack, do not stack units directly on
top of one another in the rack. Each unit must be secured to the rack with
appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting brackets are not designed to support
multiple units.
