Installation Guidelines

As with any electronic device, you should place the
equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme
temperatures or humidity, vibration, dust, direct
sunlight, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically,
the site you select should meet the following
requirements:
A. Install the DGS-1008MP in a cool and dry place.
The ambient temperature should be between
0 and 40 degrees Celsius (32 to 104 degrees
Fahrenheit). The relative humidity should be less
than 90 percent, non-condensing.
B. Install the switch in a site free from a strong
electromagnetic source. Surrounding electrical
devices should not exceed the electromagnetic
field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3
V/M) field strength.
C. Make sure that the equipment receives adequate
ventilation. Leave at least 10 cm of space at
the left and right-hand side of the switch for
ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on
either side of the switch.
D. The power outlet should be within 1.2 meters of
the device.
E. Do not stack any device on top of the switch.

Switch Installation

The DGS-1008MP can easily be mounted in an EIA
standard size 19-inch rack which can be placed in a
wiring closet with other equipment or placed on a
desktop or shelf.

Desktop or Shelf Installation

When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, use
the rubber feet provided. Position and apply the rubber
feet to the bottom corners of the DGS-1008MP switch.

Rack Installation

To install in a rack, attach the mounting brackets

the switch in the rack.
