Installation Guide for the Model SW502 and Model SW507 Ethernet Switches
Installing a Switch
To install the switch, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the switch.
2. Choose a location near the devices to be connected and close to an electrical outlet.
3. Follow the instructions for installing the switch on a flat surface or in a rack.
Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface
To install the switch on a tabletop or any other flat surface, follow these steps:
1. Install self-adhesive rubber pads on the bottom of the switch.
Peel off the protective backing from the rubber pads and apply one at each marked location on the
bottom of the switch.
2. Set the switch on a tabletop or any other flat surface. For proper ventilation, make sure that
the switch has at least two inches of space on each side and five inches of space on the back
side.
It is very important that the fans located in the rear panel are not blocked. Restricted airflow could
cause overheating of the components.
3. Install any additional devices in your stack.
Up to four switches can be stacked. For instructions on connecting to additional switches or other
devices, refer to "Connecting to Other Devices" later in this chapter.
Installing the Switch in a Rack
For mounting the switch in a standard 19-inch rack, you need the following tools and materials:
•
Two mounting brackets supplied from the Rack Mount Kit
•
Eight screws supplied from the Rack Mount Kit to attach the mounting brackets to the switch
•
Four screws and nylon washers supplied from the Rack Mount Kit to attach the mounting
