Installation
The location chosen for installing the Switch may affect its performance. When selecting a site, we
recommend considering the following rules:
Install the Switch in an appropriate place. See Technical Specifications for the acceptable
temperature and humidity ranges.
Install the Switch in a location that is not affected by strong electromagnetic field generators (such
as motors), vibration, dust, and direct sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the unit for ventilation.
Desktop Installation
Follow the instructions listed below to install the Switch in a desktop location.
Locate the Switch in a clean, flat and safe position that has convenient access to AC power.
Affix the four self-adhesive rubber pads to the underside of the Switch.
Apply AC power to the Switch (The green PWR LED on the front panel should light up).
Connect cables from the network partner devices to the ports on the front panel (The green LNK
LED on the upper right of the port should light).
Warning: Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no
cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.
Mounting on a Rack
Attach brackets to each side of the switch and place the brackets in the rack’s slots. Insert and
tighten screws to securely attach the bracket to the rack on each side.
Getting Connected
The Switch is capable of connecting up to 24 network devices in fiber connection at Fast Ethernet,
or Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
