6 R e a r P a n e l The 3-pronged power plug, 2 fans, power switch ing is located at t he rear panel of the GSW-2453 as shown in Figure 2-2. The switch will work with AC power in the range of 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz.
7 A. Position one bracket to align with the hol es on one side of the switch and secure it with the smaller bracket screws. Then atta ch the remaining bracket to the other side of the Switch. B. After attached both mounting brackets, posit ion the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets wit h the appropriate holes on t he rack.
8 3. Network Application GSW-2453 is designed as a segment switch. T hat is, with its large address table (4000 MAC address) and high performance, it is ideal for interconnecting networking segments. PC, workstations, and servers can communica te each other by dire ctly connecting with 3-slot Gigabit Chassis s switch.
9 4. Troubleshooting This section is intended to help you so lve the most common problems on the GSW-2453. I n c o r r e c t c o n n e c t i o n s The switch port can auto detect straight or crossover cabl e when you link switch with other Ethernet device.
