Selecting a Site

The switch can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack or on a level surface such
as a desktop or bench. When installing the switch, choose a site that:

■ Allows adequate airflow around the switch and its vents.

■ Is free of dust and moisture.

■ Will allow the switch to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 40º C

(32 to 104º F) and a humidity range of 5 to 95% non-condensing.

■ Has a reliable and earthed (grounded), preferably dedicated and filtered,

power supply circuit.

■ Does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise, such as radios,

transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and
fluorescent fixtures.

■ Allows easy access to the switch’s power and cable connections.

■ Will allow all related network devices to be connected to the switch

without exceeding maximum cable length limitations. See the Rapier Switch
Hardware Reference for cable length specifications.
