Installing the Switch
3
Mounting the Switch
This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack.
Before you start installing the switch, make sure you can provide the right operating
environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical space, and proximity
to other network devices that are to be connected. Verify the following installation
requirements:
• Power requirements: 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%) at 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz). The switch’s
power supply automatically adjusts to the input voltage level.
• The switch should be located in a cool dry place, with at least 10 cm. (4 in.) of space
on the sides for ventilation.
• Place the switch out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or areas with a
high amount of electromagnetic interference.
• If you intend to mount the switch in a rack, make sure you have all the necessary
mounting screws, brackets, bolts and nuts, and the right tools.
• Check if network cables and connectors needed for installation are available.
Stacking Switches on a Flat Surface
The SMC-EZ108FDT can be placed anywhere there is enough flat space, such as
on a table or desktop.
1.
Stick the self-adhesive rubber foot pads (that come with this package) on each
of the 4 concave spaces located on the bottom of the first switch.
2. Place the first switch on a firm flat surface where you want to install the stack.
3. Repeat step 1 for each switch before stacking them. The rubber foot pads
cushion the switch against shock/vibrations and provide space between each
switch for ventilation.
Installing a Module
The slots on the rear panel are provided for installing fiber optic module . The fiber module
can be used as a uplink to network backbone. You can install a module as described
below:
1. Disconnect power to the switch (modules are not hot-swappable).
2. Remove the face plate on the appropriate slot by removing the two screws with
a flat-head screwdriver.
3. Before opening the package that contains the module, touch the bag to the
switch casing to discharge any potential static electricity.
4. Remove the module from the anti-static shielded bag.
5. Holding the module level, gently push it all the way into the slot along the guide
rails, ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.
6. If you are sure the module is properly mated with the connector, tighten the
retainer screws to secure the module in the expansion slot.
Caution: The slide-in modules are not hot-swappable. Be sure you power off the switch
before installing any of these modules.
