Installation Guide
The images in this guide are for demonstration only and may differ from your actual product.
Installation
Desktop Mounting
Attach the supplied rubber feet to the bottom of the switch to prevent it from slipping when placed on a desktop.

Wall Mounting
Drill two holes on the wall according to the mounting holes on the bottom of the switch, then secure the switch to the wall with two suitable screws (not provided).
? Note: For detailed information, please refer to the Wall Mounting Guide on the device's support page.

Connection
[Diagram: A network diagram illustrating the connection setup for the TP-Link TL-SX105. It shows an Internet source (?) connecting to a Router/Gateway (?) (with WAN Port ➡️ and LAN Port ⬅️). The TL-SX105 switch is connected to the Router/Gateway's LAN port. The switch has five Ethernet Ports (1-5) which can connect to various devices such as a 10G NAS/Server (?), Workstation (?), Gaming Computer (?), 8K Video source (?), or a 2.5G Wi-Fi 6 AP (?). A power adapter (?) connects to the switch.]

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Why is the Power LED not lit?
The Power LED should be lit when the power system is working normally. If the Power LED is not lit, check as follows:
- Make sure the power adapter is connected to the switch with power source properly.
- Make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the requirements of the input voltage of the switch.
- Make sure the power source is on.
Q2. Why are the right and left LEDs not lit when a device is connected to the corresponding port?
It is recommended that you check the following items:
- Make sure that the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and the device.
- Make sure the connected device is turned on and works normally.
- Make sure the cable category and length meet the standards listed in General Specifications.
