Installation
Before you connect to the network, you must install the switch on a flat surface or in a rack, set u a terminal
emulation rogram, lug in the ower cord, and then set u a assword and IP address.
The switch is su lied with rubber feet for stationing it on a flat surface and mounting brackets and screws for
mounting the switch in a rack.
Switch Placement
The switch is designed for mounting in an EIA standard-sized, 19-inch rack, which can be laced in a wiring
closet with other equi ment. Make certain the location of the equi ment rack is sufficiently dry and cool and, all
network attachments and the ower cord are connected to the device on the front anel.
•Attach the rubber feet to all switches that will be installed to maintain a minimum s ace between
the devices and to avoid damaging the equi ment housing.
•The ower outlet or ower source should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the device.
•Visually ins ect the ower attachment and see that it is secured to the DC ower connector.
•Make sure that there is ro er heat dissi ation from and adequate ventilation around the switch.
Leave at least 5 cm of s ace on the right and left sides, as well as 5cm on the rear of the equi ment for
ventilation.
•Cables attach at the front. Make sure there is am le room to access cable connections.
•Do not lace heavy objects on the switch.
NOTICE: Attach the included rubber feet to the switch or switches
before installing it in the rack. All equipment in the rack should have
rubber feet attached, to maintain the minimum space needed
between devices and to protect the device housing from being
damaged.
Installing the Switch without the Rack
1. Install the switch on a level surface that can safely su ort the weight of the switch and its attached
cables. The switch must have adequate s ace for ventilation and for accessing cable connectors.
2. Set the switch on a flat surface and check for ro er ventilation. Allow at least 5 cm (2 inches) on each
side of the switch and 15 cm (6 inches) at the back for the ower cable.
3. Attach the rubber feet on the marked locations on the bottom of the chassis.
4. The rubber feet, although o tional, are recommended to kee the unit from sli ing.
Power On
The switch rovides the o tion of using DC or AC ower su ly. The switch’s ower su ly will adjust to the
local ower source automatically and may be owered on without having any or all network cables connected.
When the switch is lugged in, the Power LED indicator will light steady green.
Power Failure
As a recaution in the event of a ower failure, un lug the switch. When ower is resumed, lug the switch back
in.
