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 GSW-2416SF from being damaged by 

unregulated surge or current to the GSW-2416SF.

 

 

2.3 Hardware Installation 

 

This part describes how to install your Web Smart Ethernet Switch and make connections to the Switch. Please read 

the following topics and perform the procedures in the order being presented. To install your Switch on a desktop or 

shelf, simply completed the following steps.

 

2.3.1 Desktop Installation 

To install a Switch on a desktop or shelf, simply completed the following steps: 

Step 1: Attached the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch. 

Step 2: Place the Switch on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source. 

Step 3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Switch and the surrounding objects. 

#

Notice: 

When choosing a location, please keep in mind the environmental restrictions discussed in Chapter 1, Section 4, 
Specification. 

Step 4: Connect your Switch to network devices. 

A. 

Connect one end of a standard network cable to the 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports on the front of the GSW-2416SF 
Switch. 

B. 

Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer servers, workstations or routers…etc. 

#

Notice: 

Connection to the Switch requires UTP Category 5/5e/6 network cabling with RJ-45 tips. For more information, please 
see the Cabling Specification in 

Appendix A

Step 5: Supply power to the Switch. 

A. 

Connect one end of the power cable to the Switch. 

B. 

Connect the power plug of the power cable to a standard wall outlet then power on the Switch. 

When the Switch receives power, the Power LED should remain solid Green. 

2.3.2 Rack Mounting 

To install the Switch in a 

19-inch

 standard rack, follow the instructions described below. 

Step 1: Place your Switch on a hard flat surface, with the front panel positioned towards your front side. 

Step 2: Attach a rack-mount bracket to each side of the Switch with supplied screws attached to the package. 

Figure 

2-3

 shows how to attach brackets to one side of the Switch.
