Installation

.

Pre-Installation Requirements                    

Before you start hardware installation, make sure your installation environment has below
items:

  PC with 10/100Mbps Ethernet NICs / 100Mbps Fiber NICs:

Your PC must have a standard Ethernet RJ-45 interface to connect to the Switches copper
port.

  UTP cable with RJ45 connectors: Ensure that you use a tested cable.

  AC Power: 100 to 240V AC at 50/60 Hz: Make sure that the power is accessible and the

AC power cable can be and disconnected and connected easily.

  Dedicated power supply: Use dedicated AC or power conditioners to supply reliable

electrical power to the network devices.

  A dry cool place: Keep the Switch away from moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, sources of

heat, and a high amount of electromagnetic interference.

  Mounting tools: If you intend to mount the Switch in a rack, make sure you have all the

tools, mounting brackets, screws etc.

Caution:

Cabling must be away from sources of electrical noise such as radio, computers, transmitters,
broadband amplifiers, power lines etc.
Airflow around the Switch and through its vents on the rear must not be restricted.

Mounting the Switch

The 24 Port SNMP Managed Switch is suitable for use in an office environment where it can
be rack-mounted in standard EIA 19-inch racks or standalone.

Desktop Mounting

Set the Switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby, and near the
center of all networked devices.
Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease dust free.
Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.

Figure 3-1. Attaching Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the

Switch

Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These footpads can
prevent the Switch from shock/vibrations.

Caution

: Do not place objects on top of the Switch.
