Chapter 1 Product Introduction

1.1 Product Overview

TP-LINK JetStream L2 Managed Switch provides both Web and Command

Line management interface. The Embedded Web Interface supports remote

configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting. The EIA-standardized

framework together with smart configuration capacity can provide flexible

solutions for different scale of networks.

The TL-SL5428E provides 24 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation RJ45 ports, 4

10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 ports, 2 SFP (Small Form-Factor

Pluggable) module ports (27F, 28F) and 1 Console port. The Port 27F (28F)

and Port 27T (28T) are referred to as “combo” ports, which means they cannot

be used simultaneously, otherwise only SFP ports work.

(Protecting Earth) cable of AC cord or with Ground Cable. For detail

information, please refer to section 2.3 Connect to Ground.

¾AC Power Socket: Connect the female connector of the power cord here,

and the male connector to the AC power outlet. Please make sure the

voltage of the power supply meets the requirement of the input voltage

(100-240V~ 50/60Hz 0.6A).

Chapter 2 Installation

2.1 Precautions

To ensure a long-term and stable performance of the Switch, please pay

attention to the following before the installation.

1) Safety Requirements

•Before cleaning the Switch, cut off the power supply. Do not clean it by

the waterish cloth, and never use any other liquid cleaning method.

•Take waterproof measures during storage, transportation and operation

of the equipment.

•Use only the power cord provided with the Switch.

•Make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the requirement of the

input voltage of the Switch.

•Do not push any objects into the openings of the Switch.

•Ensure the vent hole is well ventilated and unblocked.

•Do not open or remove the cover of the Switch.

2) Location Requirements

When you choose a location for the Switch, please follow these guidelines:

•Install the Switch on a flat and stable surface that can support the entire

weight of the Switch with all fittings.

•Locate the Switch far from strong electromagnetic field generators

(such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

•To ensure adequate air flow around the Switch. At least 10 cm (4 inches)

of space at the front and rear of the Switch is needed for ventilation.

•Make sure that the Switch will be accessible and that the cables can be

easily connected.

•Position the Switch away from water and moisture sources, be sure to

provide an acceptable temperature and humidity operating

environment.

2.2 Installation

This Switch can be either installed on the standard 19-inch mountable rack or

located on the desktop.

Caution:

Please unplug the power cord before installing or removing the Switch.

2.2.1 Desktop Installation

To install the Switch on the desktop, please follow the steps:

1) Set the Switch on a flat surface strong enough to support the entire weight

of the Switch with all fittings.

2) Remove the adhesive backing papers from the rubber feet.

3) Turnover the Switch and attach the supplied rubber feet to the recessed

areas on the bottom at each corner of the Switch.

Figure 2-1 Attaching Rubber Feet

4) Upturn the Switch and connect it to the network devices while keep enough

ventilation space around.

5) Connect the Switch to power source with the provided power cord.

Caution:

Please avoid any heavy thing placed on the Switch.

2.2.2 Rack Installation

To install the Switch in an EIA standard-sized, 19-inch rack, follow the

instructions described below:

1) Secure the supplied rack-mounting brackets to each side of the Switch with

supplied screws, as illustrated in the following figure.

L5428E

Figure 2-2 Attaching Brackets

2) After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use suitable screws (not

provided) to secure the brackets to the rack, as illustrated in the following

figure.

Figure 2-3 Mounting Switch

3) Connect the Switch to network devices.

4) Supply power to the Switch with the provided power cord.

L5428E

2.3 Connect to Ground

Connecting the Switch to ground is to quickly release the lightning over-voltage

and over-current of the Switch, which is also a necessary measure to protect the

body from electric shock.

In different environments, the Switch may be grounded differently. The following

will instruct you to connect the Switch to the ground in two ways, connecting to

the Grounding Bar or connecting to the Ground via the power cord. Please

connect the Switch to ground in the optimum way according to your specific

operation environment.

•Connecting to the Grounding Bar

If the Switch is installed in the Equipment Room, where a Grounding Bar is

available, you are recommended to connect the Switch to the Grounding Bar as

shown in the following figure.

Figure 2-4

Note:

The Grounding Bar is not provided with our product.
