Selecting a Site
The TigerSwitch 16 family can be installed in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Be sure to follow the
guidelines below when choosing a location.
◆ The switch site should:
• be able to maintain its temperature within 0° to 50° C and
its humidity within 10% to 90%, non-condensing
• provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on
all sides for an air flow of 10 cubic feet/minute minimum
• be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the
switch
• allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible
◆ Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from
power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources
of electrical interference, such as radios, transmitters, etc.
◆ Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that pro-
vides 120 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 8 feet (2.44 m)
of the hub. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge
suppressor is recommended.
