Positioning the Switch

The Switch is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be free-standing or wall
mounted. When deciding where to position the Switch, ensure that:
• It is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise.
These include lift shafts, microwave ovens, and air conditioning units. Electromagnetic fields can
interfere with the signals on copper cabling and introduce errors, therefore slowing down your
network.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Air flow around the unit and through the vents on the sides of the case are not restricted
(3Com recommends that you provide a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance).
• The air is as free from dust as possible.
• Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded. It is recommended that the
unit is installed in a clean, air conditioned environment.
It is always good practice to wear an anti-static wrist strap when installing
network equipment, connected to a ground point. If one is not available, try to
keep in contact with a grounded rack and avoid touching the unit's ports and
connectors, if possible. Static discharge can cause reliability problems in your
equipment.
Using the Rubber Feet
Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Switch from moving around on your
desk, or when stacking with flat top OfficeConnect units. Only stick the feet to the marked
areas at each corner on the underside of your Switch.
Wall Mounting
There are two slots on the underside of the Switch that can be used for wall mounting. The
Switch must be mounted with the LEDs facing upwards.
When wall mounting the unit, ensure it is within reach of the power outlet
When wall mounting the unit, ensure that the rubber feet are not fixed
