Keep enough ventilation space between the switch and the surrounding
objects.
Note:
When choosing a location, keep in mind the environmental restrictions
discussed in Chapter 4, Specifications.
Step 3
Connect the switch to network devices.
A. Connect one end of a standard network cable to the RJ-45 ports on the
front of the switch.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the network devices such as printer
servers, workstations or routers.
Note: It is recommended to use the UTP Category 5e network cabling with
RJ-45 tips for the network connection. For more information, please see the
Cable Specifications in Chapter 4, Specifications.
Step 4
Supply power to the switch.
A. Connect one end of the power cable to the switch.
B. Connect the power cube end of the power cable to a standard wall outlet.
2.6. Rack- Mount Placement
Before mounting the Switch, please read the following instructions carefully,
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is
not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be
such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of
the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections
