Selecting a Site
Be sure to follow the site selection guidelines below when choosing a location:
• Select a suitable location for the switch:
• It should be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the switch.
• The temperature and humidity should be within the ranges listed in the
specifications.
• The status LEDs should be clearly visible.
• There should be adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for
proper air flow.
• Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent
lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference such as radios,
transmitters, etc.
• Make sure that a properly grounded power outlet is within 1.83 meters (6 feet) of
the switch and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any
equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
Instructions
1. Positioning the Switch: For desktop or shelf mounting, attach the four
adhesive foot pads to the bottom of the switch.
2. Applying Power: Plug one end of the power adapter into the socket on the
switch's rear panel, and the other end into an appropriate electrical outlet.
Check the Power LED to be sure power is on.
Note: It is not necessary to power off the switch before connecting or disconnecting any
UTP cables, as these actions will not disrupt the operation of other devices
attached to the switch.
