Place the switch on a large, clean, level surface with a power outlet nearby. Make sure there is enough
clearance around the switch for attaching cables and the power cord, and for air circulation.
Attaching rubber feet.
1. Make sure the mounting surface on the bottom of the switch is free of grease and dust.
2. Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
3. Apply one rubber foot to each corner on the bottom of the switch to protect the switch from
shocks and vibrations.
Rack-mounted installation
The switch comes with a rack-mount kit and can be mounted in an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack.
The switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment.
To mount the switch in a rack:
1. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it with the
smaller bracket screws. Attach the remaining bracket to the other side of the switch.
2. Position the switch in the rack by aligning the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes
on the rack. Secure the switch to the rack with the rack-mounting screws.
Applying power
Connect the cord of the power adapter to the power socket on the rear panel of the switch. Connect
the other end of the power cord to an APC UPS that is connected to a power outlet. Check the power
indicator on the front panel to make sure that the switch is receiving power.
After you connect the power cord of an AP9224112, use the power switch on the rear
panel to supply power to the unit.
Note
Connecting the switch
The RJ-45 ports use either unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable.
• For 10 Mbps connections use 100Ω Category 3, 4, or 5 cable
• For 100 Mbps connections use 100Ω Category 5 cable
• For 1000 Mbps connections use 4-pair Category 5 copper cabling
The length of any twisted-pair connection must not exceed 328 feet (100 meters).
