Considerations
• No heat sources such as hot air vents or direct sunlight near the
switch.
• No sources of severe electromagnetic interference near the switch.
• No excessive dust in the environment.
• An adequate power source is within 6 feet (1.83 meters) of the switch.
One 15-amp circuit is required for each power supply.
• At least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of clearance on the front and back
of the switch for ventilation.
• Cables should be dressed to prevent blocking air flow.
Installing an Ethernet Switch Module
Install an Ethernet Switch Module to replace an existing module or to add new capability. The switch
has four bays and you can choose any one of them to install a module. The switch detects where
the modules are installed so the order is not important.
You can also install a new module or hot swap an existing module while the switch is operational.
Before you begin
To prevent damage, handle the modules carefully by using the following guidelines:
• To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, always wear an antistatic wrist strap
connected to an ESD jack.
• Always place the modules on appropriate antistatic material.
• Support the module from underneath with two hands. Do not touch components or connector
pins with your hand, or damage can result.
• Visually inspect the connectors for damage before you insert the module. If you insert a module
with damaged connectors you will damage the switch.
