Power Socket
Plug the female connector of the power cord directly into the power socket and plug the
male connector into an AC outlet. Make sure that the voltage of the power supply meets
the requirement of the input voltage (100–240 V ~ 50/60 Hz).
Grounding Terminal
The switch already comes with lightning protection mechanism. You can also ground the
switch through the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of AC cord or with Ground Cable.
Method 2: Rack Installation
Note:
Leave 5 to 10 cm gaps around the devices for air circulation.
Avoid placing heavy things on the device.
Place the device with its bottom facing downwards.
Mount devices in sequence from the bottom to top of the rack and ensure a certain clearance
between devices for the purpose of heat dissipation.
