Installation and Safety Considerations
3.2.1.1
Consider the following when choosing an installation location:
The installation location allows you to view and access the front and rear panel ports.
•
The installation location is located within a proper distance to the power source. The power
•
source must be properly grounded and readily accessible.
The installation location allows you to route and organize cables for easy cable management
•
and maintenance.
The installation location is free from strong electromagnetic field sources, such as radiators,
•
motors, and heat sources.
The installation location is not exposed to direct sunlight, rain or moisture.
•
The installation surroundings must have adequate ventilation. Proper clearance between the
•
switch and the wall or other equipment must be observed.
If installing on a rack, ensure the cabinet is stable and secure to withstand any unexpected
•
movement, such as an earthquake. Ensure the rack or cabinet can support the weight of the
switch and other additional weight.
