on the top of the BCM50 unit and in front of the slots
10. Slide the unit back until it clicks in place on 
the slots.

The BES50 series switch performs a short self-test 
as soon as you connect the switch to the power 
supply. The status LED will flash green during the 
self-test, then solid green when finished. If the 
Status LED turns off, the device is not working 
correctly. When the self-test finishes, the BES50 
starts switching data.

desktop or flat surface, attach the 
four adhesive feet to the device as 
indicated.
