Installing the Switch 

Selecting a site 

The AMS Series switches can be rack mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack using the supplied 
Rack Mount Kit, or they can be installed on any flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below 
when choosing a location. 

The site should be: 

 

At the centre of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet. 

 

Be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 40°C (32 to 104 °F) and its humidity within 
10% to 90%, non-condensing. 

 

Be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the device. 

 

Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible. 

Make sure the twisted-pair Ethernet cable is always routed away from power lines, radios, 
transmitters or any other electrical interference. 

Make sure that AMS Series switches are connected to a separate grounded power outlet 
that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.
