• The Switch should have a minimum 25 mm space around it for ventilation.
• The Switch should be placed in a desk that has a level surface and that is able to support the weight of the Switch.
To start using it, simply connect the power cables and turn on the Switch.
15
Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection
Note: The ES1100-16/24E is a desktop device, but it is also rackmountable and
wall-mountable. Ask an authorized technician to attach the Switch to the rack/wall.

2.3.1 Wall Mounting (ES1100-16 / ES1100-24E Only)

Do the following to attach your Switch to a wall.
1 Screw the two screws provided with your Switch into the wall 150 mm apart (see
the figure in step 2). Use screws with 6 mm ~ 8 mm (0.24" ~ 0.31") wide heads. Do not screw the screws all the way in to the wall; leave a small gap between the head of the screw and the wall.
The gap must be big enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots and the connection cables to run down the back of the Switch.
Note: Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold
the weight of the Switch with the connection cables.
2 Align the holes on the back of the Switch with the screws on the wall. Hang the
Switch on the screws.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting

3.1 Improper Network Cabling and Topology

Improper network cabling or topology setup is a common cause of poor network performance or even network failure.
Figure 10 Troubleshooting Improper Network Cabling and Topology
PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
Faulty cables Using faulty network cables may affect data rates and have an impact on
your network performance. Replace with new standard network cables.
Non­standard network cables
Cabling Length
Too many hubs between the computers in the network
A loop in the data path
Non-standard cables may increase the number of network collisions and cause other network problems that affect your network performance. Refer to Section 2.2.2 on page 14 for more information on network cable types.
If you use longer cables than are needed, transmission quality may be affected.
The network cables should not be longer than the limit of 100 meters. Too many hubs (or repeaters) between the connected computers in the
network may increase the number of network collision or other network problems. Remove unnecessary hubs from the network.
A data path loop forms when there is more than one path or route between two networked computers. This results in broadcast storms that will severely affect your network performance. Make sure there are no loops in your network topology.
