Safety Precautions
To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, you should observe the following rules.
Keep the power off during the installation.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap has a good skin contact and is well
grounded.
Use only the power cord provided with the switch.
Make sure that the supply voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rear panel of the switch.
Ensure that the switch is installed in a well-ventilated environment and its ventilation hole is not blocked.
Do not open or remove the cover of the switch.
Before cleaning the device, cut off the power supply. Do not clean it by the waterish cloth, and never use any
other liquid cleaning method.
Place the device with its bottom surface downward.
Lightning Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the air in the electric
discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000 °C. As this instant current is strong enough to damage
electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be taken. Ensure that the rack and
the device are well earthed.
Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.
Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.
Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.
Note:
For detailed lightning protection measures, refer to the Lightning Protection Guide:

Installation Site
When installing the device on a rack or a flat workbench, attach much importance to the following
items:
The rack or workbench is flat, stable, and sturdy enough to support the weight of 5.5 kg at least.
The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system. The equipment room is well ventilated.
The rack is well grounded. Keep the device less than 1.5 meters away from the power socket.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. The Power LED is not lit.
The Power LED should be lit when the power system is working normally. If the Power LED is not lit, check as
follows:
A1:
Make sure the power adapter is connected to the switch with power source properly.
A2:
Make sure the voltage of the power supply meets the requirements of the input voltage of the switch.
A3:
Make sure the power source is ON.
Q2. The Link/Act LED is not lit when a device is connected to the
corresponding port.
It is recommended that you check the following items:
A1:
Make sure that the cable connectors are firmly plugged into the switch and the device.
A2:
Make sure the connected device is turned on and works normally.
A3:
The cable must be less than 100 meters long (328 feet).
Q3. Why does the switch fail to detect and block a loop from occurring in
the network topology when Loop Prevention is enabled?
A:
When this switch is connected to other non-terminal devices, such as switches of other brands, and the
device is incapable of correctly processing or forwarding loop detection packets, the Loop Prevention
function will be limited. It is recommended to connect the terminal devices directly to this switch or
connect non-terminal devices with complete forwarding capability to this switch.
Site Requirements
Temperature/Humidity
Keep the equipment room at an appropriate level of temperature and humidity. Too much or too little
humidity may lead to bad insulation, leakage of electricity, mechanical property changes, and corrosion.
High temperatures may accelerate aging of the insulation materials, significantly shortening the service life
of the device. To find out the best temperature and humidity conditions for the device, check the following
table.

Clearness
The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of
metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the device to prevent static electricity, but too
strong static electricity can cause deadly damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board.
To avoid the effect of static electricity on the operation of the switch, attach much importance to the
following items:
Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
Keep the device well grounded and ensure that the static electricity has been transferred.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected by external
interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, and impedance
coupling. To decrease the interferences, make sure to take the following measures:
Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
Keep the device far from high-frequency and strong-current devices such as radio transmitting station.
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
