Installation Guidelines 

When installing this Switch, follow these guidelines: 

Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges. 

Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to the AC power port. 

The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch. 

Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Leave at 

least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation. 

Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, 

and direct exposure to sunlight. 

NOTE: Please review the Installation Guidelines above before installing the Switch. 

Installing the Switch without a Rack 

When installing the switch in an area other than inside a switch rack, like on a desktop, rubber feet can be attached to 

the bottom panel of the switch. On the bottom panel of the switch, there are clearly marked squares where the rubber 

feet can be attached. T

hese marked squares are usually found close to the corners of the switch’s bottom panel. 

Adhesive material is included on the rubber feet. Simply pull away the protective sticker, of each rubber foot and then 

attach the foot into the appropriately marked square. The rubber feet cushion the switch, protecting the casing from 

scratches and preventing it from scratching other surfaces.
