This guide provides all the information you need to install and use a
SuperStack
®
3 Switch 4300 (3C17100) in its default state.
The guide is intended for use by network administrators who are
responsible for installing and setting up network equipment;
consequently, it assumes a basic working knowledge of LANs (Local Area
Networks).
Throughout this guide, the term stack refers to a number of Switch units
that are managed as a single unit. However, a stack can contain a single
Switch. In the case of the Switch 4300, stackability is not currently
supported.
If the information in the release notes that are shipped with your product
differ from the information in this guide, follow the instructions in the
release notes.

WARNING: RJ-45 Ports. These are shielded RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot
be used as standard traditional telephone sockets, or to connect the unit to a
traditional PBX or public telephone network. Only connect RJ-45 data
connectors, network telephony systems, or network telephones to these
sockets.
Either shielded or unshielded data cables with shielded or unshielded
jacks can be connected to these data sockets.
10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX Ports
The Switch has 48 auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports
configured as Auto MDIX (cross-over). These ports automatically provide
the appropriate connection. Alternatively, you can manually set these
ports to 10BASE-T half duplex, 10BASE-T full duplex, 100BASE-TX half
duplex or 100BASE-TX full duplex. The maximum segment length is
100 m (328 ft) over Category 5 twisted pair cable.
LEDs
Table 5
lists LEDs visible on the front of the Switch, and how to read their
status according to color. For information on using the LEDs for problem

Redundant Power
System Socket
To protect against internal power supply failure, you can use this socket
to connect a Switch 4300 to a SuperStack 3 Advanced Redundant Power
System (RPS). See
Connecting a Redundant Power System on page 23.
Console Port
The console port allows you to connect a terminal and perform remote or
local out-of-band management. The console port use a standard null
modem cable and is set to auto-baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop
bit.
Expansion Module
Slots
You can use these slots to install Expansion Modules. These allow the
Switch to support various forms of connection and add extra functionality
to your Switch. Contact your supplier for more information.
WARNING:
When an Expansion Module is not installed, ensure the

Choosing a Suitable
Site
The Switch is suited for use on a desktop, either free standing or
mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, the Switch
can be mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room, as an aggregator
for other Hubs and Switches. A rack-mounting kit containing two
mounting brackets is supplied with the Switch.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.
When deciding where to position the Switch, ensure that:
Cabling is located away from:
sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and
broadband amplifiers.
power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures
The Switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the Switch.
Air-flow is not restricted around the Switch or through the vents in the
side of the Switch. 3Com recommends that you provide a minimum of
25 mm (1 in.) clearance.
Air flow around the Switch does not exceed 40
°C
(104
°
F).
If the Switch is installed in a 19-inch rack or closed assembly its local air
temperature may be greater than room ambient temperature.
