Installation Guidelines
This section will discuss the hardware installation guidelines that the user must follow in order to properly and safely
install this switch into the appropriate environment.
•
Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to both the power connector, on the Switch, and
the electrical outlet that supplies power.
•
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place within the acceptable operating temperature and humidity
ranges. For more information about the acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges, refer to the
Physical and Environmental section.
•
Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators such as motors, vibration, dust,
and direct exposure to sunlight.
Installing the Switch without a Rack
This section is used to guide the user through installing the Switch in an area other than a switch rack. Attach the
included rubber feet to the bottom of the Switch. Take note that there should be marked blocks on the bottom of the
Switch to indicate where to attach the rubber feet. These markings are usually found in each corner on the bottom of
the device. The rubber feet cushion the Switch, protecting the casing from scratches and preventing it from scratching
other surfaces.
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support the weight of the Switch (see the Weight section in
Appendix A - Technical Specifications.). Do not place any heavy objects on the Switch. The power outlet should be
within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch. Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation
around the Switch. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front, sides, and rear of the Switch for ventilation.
