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" on

page 2.
Relative humidity around the switch does not exceed 95 percent (noncondens-

ing).
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 connected devices can not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Make sure airflow around the switch and respective vents is unrestricted. With-

out proper airflow the switch can overheat. To prevent performance degredation
and damage to the switch, make sure there is clerance at the top and bottom
and around the exhaust vents.

Environment and Enclosure Guidelines

Review these environmental and enclosure guidelines before installation:
This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2 industrial environment, in
overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at alti-
tudes up to 9842 ft (3 km) without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment, according to
IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions, there may be potential
difficulties ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to con-
ducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be mounted within an
enclosure that is suitably designed for those specific environmental conditions that
will be present and appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from
accessibility to live parts. The enclosure must have suitable flame-retardant proper-
ties to prevent or minimize the spread of flame, complying with a flame-spread rating
of 5VA, V2, V1, V0 (or equivalent) if nonmetallic. The interior of the enclosure must
be accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication might
contain additional information regarding specific enclosure-type ratings that are
required to comply with certain product safety certifications.
