3. Installation
3.1 Installation Method
The site where you install the switch may greatly affect its performance. When installing,
please take the following into consideration.
-Install the switch in a cool, dry place. See technical specifications for the acceptable
temperature and humidity operating ranges.
-Install the switch on a secure, level surface that can support its weight, at least 5Kg.
-Before connecting the Power Cord please ensure the appropriate voltage switch is
set, this switch can be found at the back of the POEGE8T.
-Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the switch to ensure adequate
ventilation.
3.2 Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the switch on a shelf or desktop please ensure guidelines above are
followed, including level surface and adequate ventilation.
3.3 Rack Installation
The POEGE8T is a rack mountable switch and can be installed in an EIA-19 based equipment
rack. First install the provided rack mount brackets onto each side of the switch using the
screws provided. Using the screws provided with your rack mount the switch into your

6. Network Connection
This switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100 or 1000Mbps network cards in PCs and
Servers, as well as to other switches and hubs.
Cabling Guidelines
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you
can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network
device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both
ends. Use Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for
10BASE-T connections.
Connecting To Pcs, Servers, Hubs And Switches
1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.
2. Attach the other end of the cable segment to an available port on the switch.
Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.
3. As each connection is made, the relevant port LED (on the switch) corresponding to
each port will turn on green to indicate that the connection is valid.

Appendix A. Troubleshooting
Diagnosing Switch Indicators
The Power Led Is Off
Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the switch and power source
properly.
Make sure the power source is ON.
The Link/Act Led Is Off When A Device Is Connected To The Corresponding
Port
Make sure that the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and
the device.
Make sure the connected device is turned on and working properly.
The cable must be less than 100 meters long (328 feet).
Check the port on the attached device and cable connections for possible
defects. Replace the defective cable if necessary.
Power And Cooling Problems
If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal power supply.
However, if the unit powers off after running for a while, check for loose power
connections, power losses or surges at the power outlet. If you still cannot isolate
the problem, the internal power supply may be defective.
