Mounting
There are two methods to mount the industrial managed switch: DIN-rail mounting and
wall-mount plate mounting. Please read the following topics and perform the
procedures in the order presented.
Note:
Ensure that the industrial managed switch is mounted vertically with the power
connectors on the top and a minimum of three inches above and below the switch to
allow for proper air flow. This device uses a convection flow of hot air which rises and
brings cold air in from the bottom and out of the top of the device. Do not mount the
switch horizontally as this does not allow air to flow up into the device and will result in
damage to the switch. Do not tie DC1 to DC2. DC2 is for secondary power redundancy.
Do not plug DC power into the device while the AC power cord is plugged in. This is not
a hot-swappable switch. Hot-swapping this device will result in damage.
Note:
Follow all the DIN-rail installation steps as shown in the example.
To install the DIN rails on the industrial managed switch:
1. Screw the DIN-rail onto the industrial managed switch.
2. Carefully slide the DIN-rail into the track.
