Step 1: Prepare The Site - NETGEAR GS110TUP Hardware Installation Manual

10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Ultra60 PoE++ Smart Managed Pro Desktop and Rackmount Switches

Step 1: Prepare the site

Before you install the switch, make sure that the operating environment meets the site
requirements that are listed in the following table.
Table 5. Site requirements
Characteristics Requirements
Mounting Desktop installations. Provide a flat table or shelf surface.
Rack-mount installations. Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack
that is grounded and physically secure. You also need the rack-mount kit that is supplied
with the switch.
Wall installations (model GS110TUP only). Use the wall-mount screws that are supplied
with the switch to attach the switch to a wall.
Pole (or other surface) installations (model GS110TUP only). Use an off-the-shelf
100 mm VESA standard mount to secure the switch to a pole or another surface. The
bottom panel of the switch provides two mount holes that are VESA-compliant.
Access Locate the switch in a position that allows you to access the front panel ports, view the
front panel LEDs, and access the power connector on the back panel.
Power source Use the AC power cord that is supplied with the switch. Make sure that the AC outlet is
not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and
the switch.
Cabling Route cables to avoid sources of electrical noise such as radio transmitters, broadcast
amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
Environmental Temperature. Install the switch in a dry area. Keep the switch away from heat sources
such as direct sunlight, warm-air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
For model GS110TUP, the ambient temperature must be between 32ºF and 104ºF (0ºC
and 40ºC).
For model GS710TUP, the ambient temperature must be between 32ºF and 122ºF (0ºC
and 50ºC).
Operating humidity. The maximum relative humidity of the installation location must
not exceed 90 percent, noncondensing.
Ventilation. Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of
the switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. The
room or wiring closet in which you install the switch must provide adequate airflow.
Operating conditions. Keep the switch at least 6 feet (1.83 meters) away from the nearest
source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.
