CHAPTER 3
Hardware Panels
This chapter describes the front panel and rear panel of the Switch and shows you how to make the
hardware connections.
3.1 Front Panel
The following figures show the front panel of the Switch. See Section 3.3 on page 29 for information
on the LEDs. The reset button is also located here as circled below. See Section 3.4 on page 29 for

The following table describes the ports.
3.1.1 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Ports 1-10 on the Switch are 100Mbps/1Gbps/10Gbps auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet
ports with full duplex support.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed of the connected
device. Auto-1000M / Full-Duplex supports Ethernet and fiber connections at 100Mbps or

CONNECTOR DESCRIPTION
Ports 1-10 These are 100Mbps/1Gbps/10Gbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports.
Connect these ports to a computer, a hub, an Ethernet switch or router.
Ports 11-12
Ethernet
These are 100Mbps/1Gbps/10Gbps RJ-45 combo uplink ports. The fiber port connection
takes priority if the corresponding Ethernet uplink port is also connected.
Connect these ports to high-bandwidth backbone network Ethernet switches using 100/
1000/10G Base-T cables.
Ports 11-12 Fiber These are SFP / SFP+ uplink Slots Use SFP transceivers in these slots for fiber-optic to
backbone Ethernet switches.
