Power Notice: 

1.  The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks 

should active all the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. 

It will prevent you from network data loss or network downtime. 

2.  In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your switch from being 

damaged by unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power adapter. 

2.2 Install the Switch 

This section describes how to install the Ethernet Switch and make connections to it. Please read the 

following topics and perform the procedures in the order being presented.
