Selecting a Location
The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch (48.26-centimeter) rack, wall mounted, or left
freestanding (placed on a tabletop). The site where you install the switch can affect its
performance. Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen installation
location meets the following site requirements.
Table 2-1. Site Requirements for Switch Location
Requirements
Mounting
•
Desktop installations
. Provide a flat table or shelf surface.
•
Rack mounted installations
. Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard
equipment rack that is grounded and physically secure. Use the rack mounting kit
supplied with your switch.
Access
Put the switch in a position that lets you access the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the
front panel LEDs, and access the rear-panel power connector.
Power source
Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location. Power
specifications for the switch are shown in
Appendix A, “Factory Default Settings and
Technical Specifications
. Be sure that the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch,
which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch.
Environment
Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as
motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
Temperature
The ambient switch operating temperature range is 23° to 122°F (–5° to 50°C). Keep
the switch away from heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm-air exhausts, hot-air
vents, and heaters.
Operating humidity
Install the switch in a dry area with a maximum relative humidity of 90%,
noncondensing.
Ventilation
Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of the switch.
Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. Be sure that
there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where you will install the switch.
