Liebert vNSATM
The Liebert vNSA network switch
connects multiple, Ethernet-ready
devices. The vNSA may include
one or two 8-port network
switches, and some models
include a Liebert iCOM™ display to
connect iCOM-equipped Thermal
Management units. See the table
below for details.
NETWORK SWITCHING
The switches in the vNSA include
8 ports: 10/100 Mbps, twisted-pair,
RJ45 and support switched
Ethernet networks in accordance
with IEEE Standard 802.3.
The switches include
autonegotiation, autopolarity, and
autocrossing to eliminate the need
for a crossover cable when
connecting device ports.
The number of Thermal
Management units that you can
connect depends on the vNSA
model. See the table below.

PREPARING FOR
INSTALL ATION
The Liebert vNSA must be
installed indoors. Choose a
mounting method based on the
application, location of connected
devices, and the type of surface
available for mounting. The
mounting options are:
• Surface-mount: secured to a wall
• Recessed-mount: front flush to
a wall.
Mount the vNSA where it can be
easily accessed.
The site must have electrical
service and must allow network-
cable routing from the devices to
the vNSA.
The wall material must be capable
of supporting the weight of the
vNSA. See the Specifications table
on the previous page for weights
by model number.
Required Equipment for
Mounting
Gather the following equipment:
• Electric drill (if pilot holes are
required)
• Screwdriver
• Marker or Pencil to mark hole
locations
• 4 #10 screws
• Wall anchors (if surface cannot
support the unit securely)
Power Requirements
The vNSA requires 100 – 240 VAC,
single-phase power for proper
operation. The unit contains a 12-V,
1.5-A universal power supply with a
hard-wired connection for 120-V or
230-V operation.
MOUNTING THE vNSA
NOTICE: Before installing, check
building plans and other relevant
documents to make sure that the
mounting in selected location will
not cut or otherwise damage
electrical wiring, communication
wiring, or pipes.
NOTE : Remove the conduit
knockouts before mounting to ease
installation and prevent strain on
the hardware and wall.
1. Mark the mounting-hole
locations.
Using the back of the vNSA as
a template, mark the locations
for the 4 screws and drill pilot
holes if necessary.
2. Install the top screws.
The screw heads must be small
enough to fit through the large
hole in the mounting slot, but
extend past the edges of the
upper part of the slot.
3. Hang the unit.
Hang the unit on the installed
top screws and make sure it
slides down until the screws
are in the upper slot, then
tighten the screws until snug.
4. Install the bottom screws.
Insert the screws in the bottom
holes on the back of the panel
and tighten until snug.

CONNECTING POWER
WARNING: Risk of electric
shock. Can cause injury or death.
Open all local and remote electric
power disconnect switches and
verify with a voltmeter that power
is o before working within the unit
electric enclosures.
NOTE: The vNSA requires
properly-grounded (earthed)
100–240VAC, single-phase
power, 50Hz or 60Hz. The ground
wire for the power lead must be
wired to the earth ground terminal
stud located next to the universal
power supply.
This equipment must be installed
by a qualified and certified
electrician who must review and
approve customer-supplied wiring
and circuit breakers and verify
correct input and grounded
(earthed) connections to ensure
compliance with technical
standards and national and local
electrical codes
The vNSA includes a power supply
with an adapter that must be wired
for the power connection.
NOTE: Unplug the connector prior
to installation. You may use a field-
supplied power cord in place of the
provided hardwire adapter.
NOTE: The maximum wire size is
16AWGstranded.
1. Connect the ground wire.
Locate the earth-ground
terminal inside the vNSA
enclosure and connect the
incoming electrical-service
ground wire to the ground
terminal.
2. Remove the adapter
cover.
Loosen the screw on the
adapter cover and remove the
cover.
3. Remove the wire clamp.
Loosen the screws in the wire
clamp and remove the clamp.
4. Secure wires in adapter.
Feed the wires through the
rubber grommet including the
ground wire from the earth-
ground terminal. Strip the
insulation from each wire to
expose 5/8 in. (16 mm), wrap
the wire around the appropriate
terminating screw, and tighten.
The screws are labeled as
follows:
• N = Neutral for 120-V
applications or Line for
220-V applications (white
wire)
• E = Earth ground, from the
earth-ground terminal
(green wire)
• L = Line (black wire)
5. Replace adapter cover.
Replace the wire clamp and
secure it with the 2 screws,
then replace the adapter cover
and tight the screw.
CONNECTING TO vNSA
To connect devices to vNSA, use
CAT5 (or better) with RJ45
connectors.
