Installing the PoE PD Switch
The PoE PD-Switch is ready to use. Simply connect the appropriate data cables to ports 2 and
up. Then connect the powered Ethernet cable to Port 1 (PD).
Wall-Mount Installation
The PoE PD-Switch includes two X-shaped wall-mount holes in the enclosure. These holes
accommodate the use of screws to flush-mount the PoE PD-Switch to a wall.
DIN Rail Mounting
By installing the supplied DIN rail clips, you can use a DIN rail to mount several PoE PD-
Switches in a compact area. The DIN rail clips can be installed either on the bottom of the
PoE PD-Switch or on the side.
NOTE
When you use the side-installed location, you will need to remove the countersunk screw
from the enclosure. Then use the vacated hole for one of the DIN clip screws.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines
Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles
of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good
system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.
1.
Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a
reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems
in an installation.
2.
Dust caps are installed at Black Box to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These
protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable to
the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective
dust caps.
3.
Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box so that
when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.
4.
If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between blasting with
clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to your add-in modules. Always observe the
following precautions when installing or handling an add-in module or any board assembly.
1.
Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until you’re ready to install it.
2.
Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component. If you
do not have a wrist strap, maintain grounded contact with the system unit throughout any
procedure requiring ESD protection.
3.
Hold boards by the edges only; do not touch the electronic components or gold
connectors.
4.
After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD pad or in
a proper ESD bag. Do not slide the board over any surface.
WARNING
!
Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are
extremely susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage. Do not handle
these components directly unless you are a qualified service technician and
use tools and techniques that conform to accepted industry practices.
