4 Switch Installation

4.1 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 fluorescent
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" in section 3.1.

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 fixed port devices, the cable length from the Switch to connected devices can not exceed
100 meters (328 ft).

Make sure airflow around the Switch and respective vents is unrestricted. Without proper airflow
the Switch can overheat. To prevent performance degradation and damage to the Switch, make
sure there is clearance at the top and bottom and around the exhaust vents.

4.1.1 Connecting Hardware

These instructions will explain how to find a proper location for your Switch, how to connect to the net-
work, hook up the power cable, and connect to wienet FS 8/16-XX-W.

4.2 Verifying Switch Operation

Before installing the device in a rack or on a wall, power on the Switch to verify that the Switch passes the
power-on self-test (POST). To connect the cabling to the power source, see "Power Supply Installation" in
section 4.5.
At startup (POST), the System LED blinks green, while the remaining LEDs are a solid green. Once the
Switch passes POST self-test, the System LED turns green. The other LEDs turn off and return to their
operating status. If the Switch fails POST, the System LED Switches to an amber state.
After a successful self-test, power down the Switch and disconnect the power supply. The Switch is now
ready for installation on its final location.
