The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it
from becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Devices installed in a rack or cabinet should be mounted as low
as possible, with the heaviest devices at the bottom and progres-
sively lighter devices installed above.
Wall-mount the switches with network ports facing up or down.
Do not mount the switches with the ventilation or fan ducts
facing up or down.
When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and
should be easily accessible in case the switch must be powered off.
Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded.
Use only the AC/DC power adapter and power cord (if applicable),
supplied with the switch. Use of other adapters or power cords, including
those that came with other HP Networking products, may result in
damage to the equipment.
For those switches that use a power cord, if your installation requires a
different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure to use
a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency the defines the
regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance
that the power cord can be used safely with the switch.
Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and
over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the
supply circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed
on the same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating
limit for the circuit. Maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the
devices near the AC power connectors.
Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed 45C (113F). This includes a fully-enclosed
rack. Ensure the air flow around the sides and back of the switch is not
restricted. Leave at least 7.6 cm (3 inches) for cooling.
Ensure all port covers are installed when the port is not in use.
