TABLE OF CONTENTS viii
INTRODUCTION The EZ Switch™ 10/100/1000, SMC8516T, is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for delivering Gigabit connectivity to the desktop. It provides 16 full-duplex 1000BASE-T ports that significantly improve network performance and boost throughput for high-bandwidth applications. With 32 Gigabits of aggregate bandwidth, this switch provides the quickest solution to meeting the growing demands on your network’s limited resources.
INTRODUCTION Front Panel RJ-45 Ports The EZ Switch 10/100/1000 features 16 1000BASE-T ports with RJ-45 connectors located on the front panel of the switch. Because all ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. Front Panel LEDs The front panel of the switch provides status LEDs for “at-a-glance” system monitoring. The following table details the functions of the various indicators.

INSTALLING THE SWITCH Before installing the switch, verify that you have all the items listed under “Package Contents.” Note that the switch can be installed on any suitably large flat surface or in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.
INSTRUCTIONS • There should be adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air flow. • Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference such as radios, transmitters, etc. • Make sure that a properly grounded power outlet is within 2.44 meters (8 feet) of the switch and is powered from an independent circuit breaker.
INSTALLING THE SWITCH 4. Cascading Switches and Other Network Devices: All the ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration for cable connections. This allows you to use straight-through cable to connect to other switches or hubs from any port on the switch. No crossover cables or other device settings are needed. See the “Cable Specifications” on page 9 of this guide for further information. Caution: 6 Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the switch.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE A typical application for the SMC8516T is illustrated below.
TROUBLESHOOTING Diagnosing Switch Indicators 1. Symptom Power LED does not light after power on. Probable Causes • AC power cord may be defective. Possible Solutions • Check for loose connections. • Check the power outlet by using it for another device. • Replace the AC power cord. 2. Symptom Link LED does not light after connection is made. Probable Causes • Switch port, network card or cable may be defective. Possible Solutions • Check that the switch and attached device are both powered on.

1000BASE-T CABLE REQUIREMENTS 1000BASE-T Cable Requirements All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or any new cable installations, 4-pair Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) cable should be used. The Category 5e specifications include test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5.
