Hi onyangodt,
Welcome to the community! :)
You can either enable or disable the ability of ports 1 & 2 to deliver power. As reference, kindly read pages 80-83 of the M4100 Series Managed Switch user manual here about PoE Port Configuration.

Greetings,
I have read through those pages before and I still don't see where I can turn ports 1 & 2 into regular ports. I want to be able to hook them up to a computer or other POE device instead of using them to power the switch. I essentially have two unused ports that Id like to use for something other than to power the switch.
