Adding a Managed Switch

I've purchased a CISCO SG500-28P Managed Switch (28 port) to add on to three other Managed Switches currently configured in our network (one other Lynksys and the other two CISCO older brands- all managed Switches with POe). The new switch has been assigned a static IP Address already and connected through an available port on one of the other managed switches. I connected my workstation only into this switch and found I'm unable to remotely connect through my workstation to other devices using Remote desktop Connection. I have limited knowledge of this but I think it has something to do with POe configuration. The POe light on the new switch is not lit up which tells me I've not properly configured it. I need:

1) any simple steps available to configure this switch and
2) Ensure same security on this switch as the others.

Unfortunately, each switches' web interface differ slightly so I can't necessarily find all the right areas to configure on the new. What are the most important areas? Any information would be appreciated.

You could always tty to one of the older Ciscos and show running config that will get you all the information configure in the old switch then you'd have the info to configure in the new Cisco. If you open up 2 tty sessions you should be able to cut and paste but be careful doing this incase the new sw has different syntax in its ver.

Thanks tmoore1962 but unfortunately, I've had limited tty experience. Do you have specific steps/commands to give that I can follow, at least to see the information needed?
