Installation Requirements
Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following:
Phillips screwdriver.
Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 4U height available.
Category 5e or higher RJ45 Ethernet cables, ber optical cables and console cable for connecting
network devices.
Site Environment:
Do not operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 40°C.
The installation site must be well ventilated. Ensure that there is adequate airow around
the switch.
The switch should be installed at least 4U (177.8mm) away from devices to its sides.
Be sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid any hazardous conditions.
Do not install the equipment in a dusty environment.
The installation site must be free from leaking or dripping water, heavy dew, and humidity.
Ensure rack and working platforms are well earthed.

2. Attach the switch to the rack using four M6*16 screws and nuts. The switch chassis stops on the
guide rails.
1. Attach the guide rails to the rack using eight M6*16 screws and nuts.
