  • Page 8: Unpacking And Installation

    Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation. • Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equip- ment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, titled Rack Mounting.

  • Page 9: Installing The Switch On A Desktop

    Installing the Switch on a Desktop When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the Switch should first be attached. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the Switch and any other objects in the vicinity.

  • Page 11: Connecting Network Cable

    1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet runs in full duplex mode using four pair Category 5. These RJ-45 ports are Auto-MDI type port. The Switch can auto transform to MDI-II or MDI-X type, so you can just make an easy connection that without worrying if you are using a standard or crossover RJ-45 cable.
  • Page 12 AC Power The Switch uses the AC power supply 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz. The power switch is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to the AC power connector and the system fan. The Switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically and may be turned on without having any or all LAN segment cables connected.
