Quick Start 1 Install the hub Place the hub on a shelf or table, then plug the power supply into the hub and into a power outlet. Use only the power supply provided with the unit. Leave at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) clearance around the sides of the hub. 2 Intel Express 130T Standalone Hub Power Traffic % 3 12 Collisions 50+ 3 100 12 10 50+ Speed 100 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 100 10 10 Solid green = Link Blinking green = Activity Orange = Autodisabled Leave at least 3 inches (7.
Frequently asked questions Does each port operate at 10Mbps or 100Mbps? Yes. Each port on the Express 130T Standalone Hub is capable of 10Mbps or 100Mbps half-duplex operation. Do I have to set a port’s speed? No. Ports on the Express 130T Standalone Hub automatically detect and match the speed of an attached device. Do ports operating at different speeds communicate with each other? Yes.

Connection Guidelines You can connect the Intel Express 130T Standalone Hub to various PCs, switches, routers, servers, and print servers running at either 10Mbps or 100Mbps. Each port on the Express 130T Standalone Hub automatically matches the highest possible speed of an attached device. Note For guidelines on connecting to another hub, see “Connecting to Hubs and Switches” on page 6. Connecting to 100Base-TX devices • Use Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (CAT 5 UTP) cable.
LED Indicators The LEDs on the front of the hub indicate the status of each port as well as the overall condition of the hub.

Traffic % Green Utilization is low to medium (3-12 percent). Orange Utilization is medium to high (25-50+ percent). Collisions Green Collisions detected. Off No collisions detected.
Connecting to Hubs and Switches Connecting to another 130T hub Using no more than 5 meters of CAT 5 UTP cable, connect the Daisychain port on one hub to any port except the Daisy-chain port on the other hub. Do not connect two Daisy-chain ports. If you do, the two connected hubs won’t be able to communicate. Note Remember, if you use the Daisy-chain port, you can’t simultaneously use Port 1 on the same hub.
Do not connect the Express 130T Standalone Hub to a 100Base-T Class I hub, such as the Express 10/100 Stackable Hub. Don’t connect the Express 130T Standalone Hub to a 100Base-T Class I hub.
Connecting to a switch Connecting hubs to a switch, such as the Intel Express 510T Switch, allows you to extend your network topology. The cable length between the Express 130T Standalone Hub and the switch must not exceed 100 meters. If you’re connecting to a 10Mbps switch, make sure you use no more than 100 meters of CAT 3, 4, or 5 UTP. If you’re connecting to a 100Mbps switch, make sure you use no more than 100 meters of CAT 5 UTP.
Troubleshooting Symptoms and solutions Most problems with the Express 130T Standalone Hub are caused by incorrect cabling. If you have problems connecting devices, check your cabling first. A port LED is orange. This means the hub has autodisabled (partitioned) a port. • Check the attached device’s LAN adapter and cabling. • See “Autodisabled Ports” on page 5. A port LED doesn’t light after a cable is attached. This means the connected device has a defective network adapter, cable, or port.
Cabling Requirements Straight-through vs. crossover cables Ports 1-8 on the Express 130T Standalone Hub are wired MDI-X (indicated by the ‘x’ next to the port number), which allows you to use a straight-through cable when connecting to a PC or server (network adapter cards are wired MDI). For direct connection to another MDI-X port (such as a switch port), use a crossover cable.
Testing a cable Here’s an easy way to test the link integrity of a cable: 1 Plug one end of the cable into the Daisy-chain port. 2 Plug the other end of the cable into port 2X. 3 Check port 1 and port 2 Speed LEDs on the front of the unit. If these ports are lit, you have a functioning straight-through cable. If the ports are unlit, remove the cable from the Daisy-chain port and reinsert it in port 1X. If the Speed LEDs for ports 1 and 2 are on, you have a functioning crossover cable.
