Read and perform the following procedures to install the switch,
Pre-Installation Considerations
Gigabit Considerations:
If you will use the switch for Gigabit applications, keep in mind that the
maximum UTP cabling length of Category 5e cable is 328 feet (100 meters).
Positioning the switch:
When choosing a location for the switch, observe the following guidelines:
Keep enough ventilation space between the switch and the surrounding
objects.
Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and
fluorescent lighting fixtures.
Do not stack free-standing switch more than four units high.
Desktop or Shelf Mounting
To install the switch on a desktop or shelf, simply complete the following
steps:
Step 1
Place the switch on a desktop or shelf near an AC power source.
Step 2
Keep enough ventilation space between the switch and the
surrounding objects.
Note:
When choosing a location, keep in mind the environmental restrictions
discussed in Chapter 4, Specifications.
Step 3
Connect the switch to network devices.
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the RJ-45 ports on the
front of the switch.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer
servers, workstations or routers.
Note: It is recommended to use the UTP Category 5e network cabling with
RJ-45 tips for the network connection. For more information, please
see the Cable Specifications in Chapter 4, Specifications.
Step 4
Supply power to the switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the switch.
B. Connect the power cube end of the power cable to a standard wall outlet.

Rack- Mount Placement
Before mounting the Switch, please read the following instructions carefully,
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is
