Choosing a Site for the Switch
Observe these requirements when planning the installation of the switch.
Before installing the switch in an equipment rack, check that the
rack is safely secured so that it will not tip over. Devices in a rack
should be installed starting at the bottom, with the heavier devices
near the bottom of the rack.
Before installing the switch on a table, check that the table is level
and stable.
The power outlet should be located near the switch and be easily
accessible.
The site should allow for easy access to the ports on the front of
the switch, so that you can easily connect and disconnect cables,
and view the port LEDs.
The site should allow for adequate air flow around the unit and
through the cooling vents on the front and rear panels. (The
ventilation direction is from front to back.)
The site should not expose the switch to moisture or water.
The site should be a dust-free environment.
The site should include dedicated power circuits or power
conditioners to supply reliable electrical power to the network
devices.
Do not install the switch in a wiring or utility box because it might
overheat and fail from inadequate airflow.
Warning
Switches should not be stacked on a table or desktop. They could
present a physical safety hazard if you need to move or replace
switches.
