2 Installing the Switch
The site where you place the switch may greatly affect its

7
performance. When installing, take the following into your
consideration.
2.1 Installation
Follow the guidelines below to install the Switch:
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See the
Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and
humidity operating ranges. Install the Switch on a sturdy,
level surface that can support its weight. Connect the power
cord to the Switch and the power outlet. The distance is no
more than 182cm.
Leave at least 10cm (about 4 inches) of space at the front
and rear of the Switch for ventilation.
2.2 Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the Switch on the desktop or shelf, please
attach the rubber feet to the Switch. Peel off the protective
paper on the pads and attach them on the bottom of the
Switch (one at each corner).
2.3 Power on the Switch
The Switch has a universal power supply ranging from 100V
to 240V AC, 50 ~ 60Hz power source. TheAC power
connector is located at the rear of the unit adjacent to and the
system fan. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local

8
power source automatically.
3 Connecting the Switch
This section describes how to connect the Switch to your
10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet network.
3.1 Connection
Your network device (i.e. computer, switch, IP Camera, VoIP)
can be connected to any port of the Switch via a two-pair
Category 5 Cable or above. If the LED indicators do not light
up after making a proper connection, check your network
device, the cable, the Switch conditions and connections.
