Power Port
Ground
Note: Ensure the polarity is correct: red is positive (+) and black is negative

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.
