Installation

This installation guide gives step-by-step instructions about how to install the LBG1000A-R2 switch:

Selecting a Site for the LBG1000A-R2 Switch

As with any electric device, you should place the switch where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures,
humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following requirements:

- The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).

- The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 40 degrees Celsius).

- The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing.

- Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3,
Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.

- Make sure that the switch receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the
switch or the fan exhaust port on the rear of the switch.

- The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the switch.

Connecting to Power

Step 1: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of the switch, and then plug it into a
standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 240 Vac.

Step 2: Disconnect the power cord if you want to shut down the switch.

<Note> Always ensure that the power is off before any installation.
Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use.
<Note> To connect two regular RJ-45 ports between switches or hubs, you need a cross-over cable.
Step 3: Consult Cable Specifications Table on previous page for cabling requirements based on connectors and
speed.
Step 4: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a desired device.
Step 5: Once the connections between two end devices are made successfully, turn on the power and the switch is
operational.

For management configuration, please refer to user’s manual at page 14.
