2.2. Installation Guidelines

The following guidelines are provided to optimize the device performance. Review the
guidelines before installing the device.
Make sure cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. Radios, power lines, and flu-

orescent lighting fixtures can interference with the device performance.
Make sure the cabling is positioned away from equipment that can damage the cables.

Operating environment is within the ranges listed range, see "Specifications" on page 1.

Relative humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent (noncondensing).

Altitude at the installation site is not higher than 10,000 feet.

In 10/100 and 10/100/1000 fixed port devices, the cable length from the switch to con-

nected devices can not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Make sure airflow around the switch and respective vents is unrestricted. Without

proper airflow the switch can overheat. To prevent performance degredation and dam-
age to the switch, make sure there is clerance at the top and bottom and around the
exhaust vents.
