The switch has a console port, a number 9 port and 8 ports for output that are upside down! How do I connect the computers to the switch, and in witch of the ports do I put the internet cable?

If this is just a switch, you can't use it by itself, you need a router to issue the IP's for your computers and route traffic between them and the internet.
Switches can't route they just connect, with only one PPPoE you only have ONE IP address, you need something to issue each machine an IP and that will be a router.

if it doesnt have an uplink or internet port then you may be able to use port 1 or port 9, the other ports will be for your computers.
