Introduction

The Baseline 10/100 Switch is supplied with two mounting 
brackets and four screws. These are used for rack-mounting the 
unit. When mounting the unit, you should take note of the 
guidelines given in “Positioning the Baseline 10/100 Switch” on 
page 3.

Rack Mounting the Units

The Baseline 10/100 Switch is 1U high and will fit a standard 
19-inch rack.

CAUTION: 

Disconnect all cables from the unit before 

continuing. Remove the self-adhesive pads from the 
underside of unit, if already fitted.

1

Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with 
the front facing towards you.

2

Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one 
side of the unit (refer to the figure following step 6).

3

Insert the two screws supplied in the mounting kit and fully 
tighten with a suitable screwdriver.

4

Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.

5

Insert the unit into the 19-inch rack and secure with suitable 
screws (not provided).

6

Reconnect all cables.

Refer to the information about LEDs given earlier in this guide to 
see if the problem can be identified and rectified. Here are some 
common problems that can occur:

Link Status LED not lit for a port that has a connection.

 

There is a problem with this connection. Check that:

„

The device being connected to is powered on and operating 
correctly.

„

The cable is connected at both ends.

„

The cable is not damaged.

„

If the connection is to a workstation, that the workstation’s 
network interface is installed and configured correctly.

All ports appear to show continual activity.

 There may be 

broadcast storms on the network. 

Remove port connections one at a time, waiting a few seconds 
between each port. If the LEDs go off after removing a port 
connection, the device that was connected to that port is 
introducing an excessive amount of broadcast frames to the 
network (some pieces of network equipment operate by sending 
out broadcast frames regularly). Refer to the documentation that 
accompanies the device for information on disabling the 
broadcast operation.

If the problem persists and the unit still does not operate 
successfully, contact your supplier with the following information 
before returning the unit:

„

Product number and serial number (printed on a label 
supplied with the unit)
