Prepare to Install the Switch
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface — such as a table,
desk or shelf. The switch comes with wall-mounting screws. You’re welcome to use the screws if
you want to hang the switch in an open space on a wall.
Make sure the selected location is:
•
Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
•
Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space on all
sides of the switch.
•
Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
Also, you’ll need one Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors for each device
you want to connect to the switch. Each Ethernet cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).
