Installation precautions and guidelines
To avoid personal injury or product damage when installing your switch, read the following installation precautions
and guidelines.
n Do not mount the switch on a wall or under a table or under another horizontal surface.
n Mount devices installed in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Put the heaviest devices at the bottom and
progressively lighter devices positioned higher.
n To prevent the rack or cabinet from becoming unstable and/or falling over, ensure that it is adequately
secured.
n When powered by a DCpower supply, the switch must be installed in a restricted access location. Only
trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
n For switches with DCpower supplies: Disconnect DC power from the power supply BEFORE installing or
removing the power supply. The power supply must NOT be connected to DC power while it is being
installed or removed. The switch power supplies are hot-swappable; that is, a power supply that is
disconnected from the power source can be installed or removed while the switch is receiving power from
another power supply installed in the other power supply slot.
n Always switch input power OFF before connecting and disconnecting the DC input to the unit. If not turned
off, there is a risk of injury or severe damage.
n When powered by a DC power supply, the product relies upon the installation to provide short-circuit
(overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is not greater than 20A for non-PoE switches
and not greater than 40A for PoE switches when using DC power.
n When powered by a DC power supply, the installation shall provide a readily accessible two-pole disconnect
device in the fixed installation.
