Mounting the Switch
These switches can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack.
Before you start installing the switch, make sure you can provide the right operating environment,
including power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity to other devices that are to
be connected. Verify the following requirements:
• Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%) at 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz). The switch's power
supply automatically adjusts to the input voltage level.
• The switch should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm (4 in.) of space on the sides
for ventilation.
• Place the switch out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with a high amount
of electromagnetic interference.
• If you intend to mount the switch in a rack, make sure you have all the necessary mounting
screws, brackets, bolts and nuts, and the right tools.
• Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.
Mounting Switches in a Rack
Please comply with the following instructions to ensure that
the switch is securely mounted in the rack.
1. Use a standard EIA 19-inch rack.
2. Use the brackets and screws supplied in the rack
mounting kit.
3. Use a Philips screwdriver to attach the brackets to the
side of the switch.
4. Position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in
the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack, and
then use the rack-mount screws to mount the switch in
the rack.
