Installing the Switch

The switch can be mounted in a standard 19 inch equipment rack by using the rack
mount kit or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when
choosing a location.

The site should:
o
Be at the center of all the devices that you want to link and near a
power outlet.
o
Be able to maintain its temperature within 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
and its humidity within 10% to 90%, non-condensing.
o
Be accessible for installing, cabling, and maintaining the devices.
o
Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.

Make sure the twisted-pair Ethernet cable is always routed away from power
lines, radios, transmitters, or any other electrical interference.

Make sure that Vi3010 is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that
provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.
To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure
that the current cables are suitable for 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation.
Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network:

Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cable
with RJ-45 connectors; Category 5 or Category 5e with maximum length of 100
meters is recommend 100BASE-TX, and Category 5e or 6 with maximum length
of 100 meters is recommend for 1000BASE-T.

Protection from radio frequency interference emissions.

Electrical surge suppression.

Separation of electrical wires and data based network wiring.

Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors, or shields.
