The site where you install the Switch may greatly affect its performance. Please follow these
guidelines for setting up the Switch.

weight. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch.

The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch.
•
Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to the AC power port.
•
Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around
the Switch. Leave at least 15 cm (6 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Switch
for ventilation.

humidity operating ranges.
