2.1 Installation Notice
Please follow all safety instructions to ensure
proper operation of
the
Link5010AS-POE, your physical security as well as the on-going warranty of the unit.
2.1.1 Environmental Requirements
The switch must be installed in a clean area with ample ventilation and free of dust,
otherwise, the switch may be damaged by electrostatic adherence.
Maintain the temperature and the humidity within the set environment.
The switch must be put in a dry and cool place. Please ensure sufficient spacing
around the switch for good air circulation.
The switch must work in the right range of power input.
The switch must be well grounded in order to avoid ESD damage and personal
physical injury.
Avoid direct sunlight on the switch. Keep the switch away from heat sources and
strong electromagnetic interference sources.
The switch must be mounted to a standard 19’’ rack or placed on a clean level
desktop.
2.1.1.1 Dust and Particles
Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the switch. Dust can lead to electrostatic
adherence, especially under low relative humidity, causing poor contact of metal
connectors or contacts. Electrostatic adherence will result not only in reduced product
lifespan, but also increased chance of communication failures. The recommended value
for dust content and particle diameter in the site is shown below:

In addition, salt, acid and sulfide in the air are also harmful to the switch. Such
harmful gases will aggravate metal corrosion and the aging of some parts. The site should
