Order of Installation Steps
Onceyouhavechosenasuitablesite,youcanproceedtoinstalltheD2switchcomponents.
Dependingonthemountingoptionyouchoose,andwhetheryoudecidetousetheswitchasa
freestandingdevice,theorderinwhichyoucompletetheinstallationmayvary.Usethefollowing
stepsasa
guideline:
1. Attachanantistaticwriststraptoyourwrist.
2. DetermineasuitablelocationfortheD2installationandproceedwithoneofthefollowing
options:
a. UsingtheSwitchasaFreestandingDevice

Using the Switch as a Freestanding Device
IfyouareinstallingtheD2switchasafreestandingdevice,chooseanappropriateflat,secure
location,suchasadesktop,and:
1. Ifdesired,installtheoptionalrubberfeetunderneaththeswitchbyaffixingonesecurelyin
eachofthefourcorners.
2. (Optional)ConnecttheD2‐HIPWR‐POEpowercombineras
describedin“ConnectingaD2‐
HIPWR‐POEPowerCombiner”onpage 2‐25.
3. Proceedtoconnectpowertotheswitchasdescribedin“ConnectingPowertotheSwitch”on
