This manual contains important instructions and warnings that
should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of
this Tripp Lite product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect
your warranty.
Switch Location Warnings
• The switch is designed for indoor use only, in a controlled environment, away from excess
moisture, temperature extremes, conductive contaminants, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, maintain an indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C
and 40º C) with relative humidity between 10% and 90% (non-condensing).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the switch for proper ventilation.
• Keep the switch away from high-frequency, strong-current devices (e.g., radio transmitting
stations, transmitters and broadband amplifiers).
• Use electromagnetic shielding (if required).
• For rackmount configuration, ensure that both the rack and switch are properly grounded.
• If the switch is not rack mounted, securely place it on a sturdy, flat surface.
• The electrical outlets supplying power to the equipment should be installed near the
equipment and easily accessible.
• Improper installation can cause product damage that is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not expose the network switch’s connected networking cables to outdoor elements.
• Do not use this product near water (e.g., in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool).
• Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment
can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to
significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
Switch Connection Warnings
• Keep the switch’s input power off during installation.
• Use only the power adapter included with the switch.
• Make sure the power supply voltage matches the specifications indicated on the switch.
• Connect the switch to an outlet that is in accordance with your local building codes and
that is adequately protected against excess currents, short circuits and earth faults.
• Do not connect the switch to an ungrounded outlet or to extension cords or adapters that
eliminate the connection to ground.
• Do not drill into or attempt to open any part of the switch housing. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
• Do not attempt to modify the switch, including the input plugs and power cables.
• Do not attempt to use the switch if any part of it becomes damaged.
• Make sure network cables are properly seated. A clicking sound will be made when a
