Installing the Switch
Installation Procedure
1. Prepare the Installation Site
Be sure to follow the guidelines below to ensure proper operation when
installing the switch into a network:
■ Verify that copper and fiber cabling meets the requirements of the
“Cabling Specifications” in Appendix A.
■ Protect the switch from radio frequency interference emissions.
■ Use electrical surge suppression.
■ Use safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields.
Cautions
■ Ensure the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the
power cord supplied with the switch to connect it to the power source.
■ If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied
with the switch, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the
safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your
country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the switch.
■ When installing the switch, the AC outlet should be near the switch and
should be easily accessible in case the switch must be powered off.
■ Ensure the switch does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-
current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply
circuits, add together the ampere ratings of all devices installed on the
same circuit as the switch and compare the total with the rating limit for
the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the
devices near the AC power connectors.
■ Do not install the switch in an environment where the operating ambient
temperature might exceed 40 °C (104 °F).
■ Ensure the air flow around the sides of the switch is not restricted.
