Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Installation Considerations
To keep the switch in optimum working condition and prolong its life time, follow instructions below :
Please keep the switch in a dry and well ventilated environment.
For desktop installations, place the device on a flat table or shelf surface; for rack-mount installations, use a 19-inch
(48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is grounded and physically secure. The rack-mount kit supplied
with the switch is also required.
Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets of the switch. Keep more than 10 centimeters free on all
sides for cooling. Be sure there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where the switch is installed.
Don’t put heavy articles on the switch.
Verify there’s more than 1.5 centimeters vertical distance free between devices that overlap each other.
Ensure operating power supply accords with rated input standard.
2.2 Installing the Switch
The switch can be installed on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack.
1. Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface
The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave
spaces on the bottom of the switch to cushion the switch against shock/vibrations.
