You can use the redundant DC power source as a hot spare; if there is no longer power
through the Power port, the UniFi Switch will switch to the DC power source without
interrupting its operation.
Connect the included Power Adapter to the Power port.
Ancillary grounding point for enhanced ESD protection.
Hardware Installation
The UniFi Switch can be mounted on a horizontal or vertical surface.
WARNING: The US-XG-6POE must not be stacked. Do not place it on top of another
switch. Do not place anything on top of the US-XG-6POE.
