INSTALLATION

Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the
following precautions:
1.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, the environmental temperature around the equipment
must be less than or equal to 50
2.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, adequate air flow must be maintained for proper and
safe operation.
3.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
system placement of the equipment must not overload or load
unevenly the rack system.
4.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly, verify the equipment's power requirements to prevent
overloading of the building/s electrical circuits.
5.)
If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack
assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and
uncompromised earthing path.

Locating Magnum Quad-Series Switches

The location of a Magnum Quad-Series Switch is dependent on the physical
layout of the network. Typically the Switch is placed in a central wiring location where
groups of network devices need to be connected in order to communicate with each
other. These Switches are typically rack mounted in a wiring closet see Section 3.3.2
below), but because they have rubber feet they can also be installed on a shelf or table
top. The compact size of the 8-port QS580 unit allows it to be easily placed in an office
or lab area, and it can also be either shelf of wall-mounted (see Section 3.3.1 below).
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended
Magnum Quad-Series site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum Quad-Series will
normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an
open view of the front to visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around
the unit so that cooling can occur from the small fan on the left side, while the unit is in
operation. See figure below.
