One AC power cord

GS950PS V2 Series Quick Installation Guide 7
Note: The GS950/52PS V2 Switch does not include the eight wall
screws, washers, and wall anchors.
Choosing a Site for the Switch
Review these site recommendations and requirements.
Before installing the switch in an equipment rack, verify that the
rack is safely secured so that it will not tip over. Devices in a rack
should be installed starting at the bottom of the rack, with the
heavier devices near the bottom.
Before installing the switch on a table, verify that the table is level
and stable.
Before installing the switch on a wall, verify that the wall’s material
is strong enough to hold the switch’s weight. You should position
the device so that it can be screwed into the wall’s framing timber
or equivalent structural element.
The power outlet should be located near the switch and be easily
accessible.
The site should allow for easy access to the ports on the front of
the switch so that you can easily connect and disconnect cables,
and view the port LEDs.

The site should allow for adequate air flow around the unit and
through the cooling vents on the side panels.
Do not place objects on top of the switch.
The site should not expose the switch to moisture or water.
The site should be a dust-free environment.
The site should use dedicated power circuits or power
conditioners to supply reliable electrical power to the network
devices.
Do not install the switch in a wiring or utility box without adequate
airflow and cooling. The switch might overheat and shutdown.
Direction of Ventilation in the Switches
The GS950/18PS V2, GS950/28PS V2, and GS950/52PS V2
Switches have internal ventilation fans. Airflow is from left to right,
when facing the front of the switch.
Note: The GS950/10PS V2 Switch does not have ventilation fans.
The site must provide sufficient airflow to prevent overheating of the
device.
Installing the Switch
Installing the Switch on a Desk or Table
To install the switch on a desk or table, perform the following
procedure:
1. Place the switch upside down on the table.
2. Affix the bumper feet to the four corners on the bottom panel of
the switch.
Warning: Switches should not be stacked on a table or
desktop. They could present a physical safety hazard if
you need to move or replace switches.  E91

3. Turn over the switch.
4. Go to “Ports” on page 13.
Installing the Switch in an Equipment Rack
Here are the items for installing the switch in an equipment rack:
Two equipment rack brackets (included with the switch)
Eight M4x6mm bracket screws (included with the switch)
Cross-head screwdriver (not provided)
Four equipment rack screws (included with the switch)
To install the switch, perform the following procedure:
1. Place the switch on a table.
2. If the bumper feet are attached to the bottom panel of the switch,
remove them with a flat-head screwdriver.
3. Attach the two brackets to the sides of the switch with the eight
M3 3mm x 6mm screws included with the switch. This figure
shows the GS950/28PS V2 Switch.
4. Have another person hold the switch in the equipment rack while
you secure it using four equipment rack screws. The switch
comes with equipment rack screws.
