1 Setting up the Intel®
Express 530T Switch
Overview
This guide provides information on configuring and managing the Intel®
Express 530T Switch and is organized into these chapters:
•Chapter 1 - Information on the switch hardware and optional
modules
•Chapter 2 - Information on using the switch in a LAN and advanced
features such as link aggregation and Virtual LANs (VLANs)
•Chapter 3 - How to use Intel Device View
•Chapter 4 - How to use Web Device Manager
•Chapter 5 - Overview of Local Management
Management
Through the switch’s built-in management you can configure the device
and monitor network health. Thereare several methods for managing this
switch; you can use one method or any combination.
•SNMP management applications such as Intel®Device View,
LANDesk®Network Manager, or HP OpenView* are tailored for
Intel products and show a graphical representation of the device
(with the use of the proper MIB).
•Onboard management allows control over the device without
using an SNMP application. The Web Device Manager provides a
graphical interface; Local Management is a menu-driven interface.
•Other SNMP-compliant applications can manage 530T switches
if you compile the switch’s MIB files into that application.

Switch Features
These are the major features of the 530T switch.
•Auto-negotiates speed, duplex, and flow control—10Mbps or
100Mbps per port.
•Half- and full-duplex flow control.
•Two-port expansion slot for the optional 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-
LX, or 100/1000Base-T module.
•Can be stacked with up to three 535T (member) switches.
•Port settings can be configured manually through management.
•Access menu-driven Local Management through the serial port or a
Telnet session.
•Access the graphic, Web-based, Web Device Manager through a
Web browser.

About the 530T Switch
General
•The 530T switch is capable of auto-negotiating port speed and can
operate at 10Mbps or 100Mbps per port. The switch matches the
highest possible speed of an attached device.
•The 530T switch is capable of auto-negotiating port duplex and can
operate at half- or full-duplex.
Cabling
•Use Category 5 or greater unshielded twisted-pair (CAT 5 UTP)
cable when connecting 100Mbps devices to the switch.
•Use Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (CAT 3, 4, or 5
UTP) cable when connecting 10Mbps devices to the switch.
•Limit the cable length between devices to 100 meters (328 feet).
•Use a straight-through cable to connect the switch to a server or
workstation. For more information on cabling, see pages 7 and 8.
Modules
The 530T switch accepts a Stack Matrix Module to connect with up to
three member switches and an uplink module (Module A) to provide an
additional two Gigabit ports.
The four modules supported by the 530T are:
•Stack Matrix Module (Connects to a maximum of three 535T
[member] switches.) (ES530MSM)
•1000Base-SX (ES530MSX)
•1000Base-LX (ES530MLX)
•100/1000Base-T (ES530MT)
