Using the BayStack 450 10/100/1000 Series Switch2-8 309978-D Rev 01Connecting the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX PortsConnect devices to the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX (10/100) ports as shown inFigure 2-5.The 10/100 switch ports are configured with RJ-45 connectors that are wired asMDI-X ports. As in conventional Ethernet repeater hubs, these ports connect viastraight-through cables to the network interface card (NIC) in a node or server.When connecting to an Ethernet hub or to another switch, you must use acrossover cable. See Appendix F, “Connectors and Pin Assignments,” for moreinformation.By default, all BayStack 450 switch 10/100 switch ports are set withautonegotiation enabled. This feature allows any port to match the best serviceprovided by the connected station, up to 100 Mb/s in full-duplex mode.To connect the RJ-45 port cables, insert the cable plug into the appropriate portconnector until the release tab snaps into the locked position (Figure 2-5).Figure 2-5. 10/100 Mb/s Port ConnectionsNote: The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports must use Category 5 UTP cable toaccommodate the 100BASE-TX functionality.Uplink/Expansion Module 2826 2725Comm Port17 1913 15 2118 2014 16 22 2423Status DwnPwr UpCasRPSU Base ActivityActivity10/10010/1005 71 3 96 82 4 10 1211BS45073AComm PortActivity10010F Dx400-4TX MDA400-4TX MDARJ-45 connector
