Power Notice:
1. The device is a power-required device, it means, it will not work till it is powered. If your networks should active all
the time, please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from
network data loss or network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect your Switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch or the power adapter.
