Selecting a Site
Be sure to follow the site selection guidelines below when
choosing a location:
•
Select a suitable location for the switch:
•
It should be accessible for installing, cabling and
maintaining the switch.
•
The temperature and humidity should be within the ranges
listed in the specifications.
•
The status LEDs should be clearly visible.
•
There should be adequate space (approximately two
inches) on all sides for proper air flow.
•
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 properly grounded power outlet is within 8
feet (2.44 meters) of the switch and is powered from an
independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a
filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
