The LED lights up blue when there is an active power connection on the USP DC
input.
This DC input provides redundant power when the UniFi Switch is connected to
the UniFi SmartPower Redundant Power System, model USP-RPS, via the USP
Cable (not included). If there is an AC power loss or internal power supply failure,
the UniFi Switch will draw power from the USP-RPS instead.
Connect the included Power Cord to the Power port.

Installation Requirements
Phillips screwdriver
Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available
For indoor applications, use Category 5 (or above) UTP cabling approved for
indoor use.
For outdoor applications, shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used
for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC
ground of the power supply.
We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor
environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded
Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti. For more details, visit: ui.com/toughcable
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the UniFi Switch
itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.
