3. Installing 24-Port Gigabit Web Smart Switch
This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack. Users can immediately use
most of the features simply by attaching the cables and turning the power on.
2.1 Desktop Installation
For desktop installation, the switch needs to put on a clean, flat desk or table close to a power outlet.
Plug in all network cables and the power cord, then the system is ready.
Before installing the switch, you must ensure:
1. It is accessible and cables can be connected easily
2. Cabling is away from:
•
Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers
•
Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
3. Keep water or moisture off
4. Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is great for heat radiation
(company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25 mm clearance)
To prolong the operational life of your units:
1. Never stack unit more than eight sets high if freestanding
2. Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack
3. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case
3.2 Rack-mount Installation
The switch may stand alone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack mounting
produces an orderly installation when you have a number of related network devices. The switch is
supplied with rack mounting brackets and screws. These are used for rack mounting the unit.
Rack Mounting the Switch in the 19-inch rack:
1. Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing.
2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing toward you.
3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.
4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.
5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.
6. Insert the unit into the 19" rack and secure with suitable screws (not provided).
7. Reconnect all cables.
