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.
•
Do not place any device on top of Switch, or place the
Switch on top of any device or object that will block the free
flow of air through the ventilation slots on the sides, top,
and bottom of the Switch's case.
•
Keep your hand away from top and bottom of device that
generates a significant amount of heat.
•
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.
