    A dry cool place: Keep the switch away from moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heat source, and high amount of electromagnetic interference around. Mounting tools: If you intend to mount the switch on a rack, make sure you have all the tools, mounting brackets, screws, bolts and nuts. FGSW-008 User's Manual...
  • Page 25: Mounting The Switch

    Cauti Cabling must be away from sources of electrical noise such as radio, computers, transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines and keep away from TVs, hair dryers, and microwave. Air flow around the switch and through its vents on the rear cannot be restricted. 4-2 Mounting the Switch The Switch is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be rack-mounted in standard EIA 19-inch racks or standalone.
  • Page 26 After attached both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the supplied rack-mount screws. FGSW-008 User's Manual...
  • Page 27: Power On

    Figure 4-2: Rack Mount the Switch Note: For proper ventilation, allow about 6 inches of clearance on the front and 6 inches on the back of the Switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack installations. Apply the procedures to stack more RFS switches. To remove a rack, use a screwdriver for loosening all the screws on the rack and the stacking brackets from the body.

  • Page 29: Modularized Switch Application

    5-1 Modularized Switch Application In general, the Switch is designed to be a modularized switch. The Switch can contain different kinds of connecting ports including RJ-45, SC/ST /MT-RJ /VF-45 fiber port, SX/LX Gigabit fiber port. These ports enable the flexibility of your network configuration. You can use the switch to connect PCs, workstations, and servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the switch.
  • Page 30: Backbone Switch Application

    The Switch is ideally suited as a workgroup switch in a network. With a Gigabit Fiber Module, for example, installed in the Switch, the entire switched topology could be connected to server as a backbone switch. Figure 5-2. Backbone Switch Application FGSW-008 User's Manual...
