Installation
Before you connect to the network, you must install the switch on a flat surface or in a rack, set up a terminal
emulation program, plug in the power cord, and then set up a password and IP address.
The switch is supplied with rubber feet for stationing it on a flat surface and mounting brackets and screws for
mounting the switch in a rack.
Switch Placement
The switch is designed for mounting in an EIA standard-sized, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring
closet with other equipment. Make certain the location of the equipment rack is sufficiently dry and cool and, all
network attachments and the power cord are connected to the device on the front panel.
•
Attach the rubber feet to all switches that will be installed to maintain a minimum space between
the devices and to avoid damaging the equipment housing.
•
The power outlet or power source should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the device.
•
Visually inspect the power attachment and see that it is secured to the DC power connector.
•
Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the switch.
Leave at least 5 cm of space on the right and left sides, as well as 5cm on the rear of the equipment for
ventilation.
•
Cables attach at the front. Make sure there is ample room to access cable connections.
•
Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
Installing the Switch without the Rack
1. Install the switch on a level surface that can safely support the weight of the switch and its attached
cables. The switch must have adequate space for ventilation and for accessing cable connectors.
2. Set the switch on a flat surface and check for proper ventilation. Allow at least 5 cm (2 inches) on each
side of the switch and 15 cm (6 inches) at the back for the power cable.
3. Attach the rubber feet on the marked locations on the bottom of the chassis.
4. The rubber feet, although optional, are recommended to keep the unit from slipping.
Power On
The switch provides the option of using DC or AC power supply. The switch's power supply will adjust to the
local power source automatically and may be powered on without having any or all network cables connected.
When the switch is plugged in, the Power LED indicator will light steady green.
Power Failure
As a precaution in the event of a power failure, unplug the switch. When power is resumed, plug the switch back
in.
NOTICE: Attach the included rubber feet to the switch or switches
before installing it in the rack. All equipment in the rack should have
rubber feet attached, to maintain the minimum space needed
between devices and to protect the device housing from being
damaged.
