Before You Connect to the Network

The site where you install the Switch may greatly affect its
performance. Please follow these guidelines for setting up the
Switch.
•
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can
support at least 3 kg (6.6 lbs) of weight. Do not place
heavy objects on the Switch.
•
The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet)
of the Switch.
•
Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully
secured to the AC power port.
•
Make sure that there is adequate space for proper heat
dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the
Switch. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the
front and rear of the Switch for ventilation.
•
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place for the
acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
•
Install the Switch in a site free from strong
electromagnetic field generators (such as motors),
vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
•
When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach
the rubber feet to the bottom of the device. The rubber
feet cushion the Switch, protect the casing from
scratches, and prevent it from scratching other
surfaces.
