Ethernet Cabling; Mounting The Switch - AMX NXA-ENET24 Hardware Installation Manual

Installing the Switch
Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that:

Ethernet Cabling

To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are
suitable for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation
of your network:

Mounting the Switch

This switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting
instructions for each type of site follow. Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the
following factors:
1.
Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the Bracket Mounting Kit.
FIG. 7
Attaching the Brackets
2.
Mount the device in the rack, using four rack-mounting screws (not provided, see FIG. 8).

Provide 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz
is within 2.44 m (8 feet) of each device
is powered from an independent circuit breaker
As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with RJ-45
connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T and Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX.

Protection from radio frequency interference emissions
Electrical surge suppression
Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields from data based
network wiring
Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields.
Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room
temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating
temperature range.
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains.
