Hardware Installation
The UniFi Switch can be mounted on a horizontal surface,
mounted on a vertical surface, or mounted in a rack
(rackmount accessory sold separately).
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.
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION
MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF
CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR
ADEQUATE AIRFLOW.
Grounding (Recommended)
The UniFi Switch is grounded through the Power Adapter;
however, you can add optional ESD grounding for enhanced
ESD protection.
Note: You also have the option to use the Cable Clip to
secure the cord of the Power Adapter. For instructions,
proceed to the Using the Cable Clip section.
1. Loosen the ground screw and secure a ground wire (not
included) to the grounding point.
2. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding
block or other grounded structure.

Using the Cable Clip (Optional)
1. Remove the ground screw from the grounding point.
2. Insert the cord of the Power Adapter into the Cable Clip.

3. Connect the Power Adapter to the Power port.
4. Use the ground screw to attach the ground wire (not
included) and Cable Clip to the grounding point.
5. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding
block or other grounded structure.

Connecting Power
Use the included Power Adapter to power the UniFi Switch.
You can also use the DC Input option as stand-alone power or
a hot backup.
Using the Power Adapter
1. If you haven’t already connected the Power Adapter, then
connect it to the Power port.
2. Connect the Power Cord to the Power Adapter. Then
connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.

Using the DC Input (Optional)
For stand-alone power or redundant backup, connect a DC
power source to the UniFi Switch.
Note: Only one power source can be used at any one
time. With both power sources connected, the input with
the highest voltage will be used; the other power source
defaults to backup.
1. Connect the 3-pin terminal block connector of a DC/DC
cable (not included) to the DC Input.
2. Wire a DC/DC cable (not included) to the DC Input. Ensure
the polarity is correct: red is positive (+) and black is
negative (-).
3. Connect the other end of the DC/DC power cable to a DC
power source.
4. Connect your computer or host system and other devices
to the other ports on the UniFi Switch.

Connecting Ethernet
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your DHCP server or LAN
to any port 1 to 4.
2. Connect your other network devices to the remaining
RJ45 ports.

Connecting SFP+
To use an SFP+ port:
1. Remove the protective plug covering the SFP+ port.
2. Plug a compatible fiber module into the SFP+ port.
1000MbpsSM/SC20KM DDM
Tx1550nm/Rx1310nm
3. Connect the fiber optic cable to the fiber module. Then
connect the other end of the cable to another fiber device.

Safety Notices
1. Read, follow, and keep these instructions.
2. Heed all warnings.
3. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
WARNING: Failure to provide proper ventilation may
cause fire hazard. Keep at least 20 mm of clearance next
to the ventilation holes for adequate airflow.
