Prepare to Install the Switch
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface such as a
table, desk or shelf. Make sure the selected location is:
• Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
• Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear
space on all sides of the switch.
• Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
Note: The switch is not designed to be stacked on top of other switches. If you
need several units in one location, use the vertical stand to position them near
each other.
Depending on the speed of your network devices, you need a Category 3 (10
Mbps), Category 5 (100 Mbps) or Category 5e (1000 Mbps) Ethernet cablecable
with RJ-45 connectors for each device you want to connect to the switch. Each
Ethernet cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).
