The location chosen for installing the Switch may greatly 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.
•
Affix the provided rubber pads to the bottom of the Switch to protect the case
from scratching.
3.1 Desktop
installation
Follow the instructions listed below to install the Switch in a desktop location.
1. Locate the Switch in a clean, flat and safe position that has convenient access to
AC power.
2. Affix the four (4) self-adhesive rubber pads to the underside of the Switch.
3. Apply AC power to the Switch (The green PWR LED on the front panel should
light up).
4. Connect cables from the network partner devices to the ports on the front panel
(The green LNK LED on the front panel associated with the port should light).
This Switch can also be mounted on a vertical surface. Simply use the
underside of the unit as a template to measure and mark out the position of the
holes on to the surface where the unit is to be installed. Then use the two
screws provided to mount the Switch firmly in place.
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.
