Selecting a Site for the Switch
The switch is designed for standalone or DIN rail mounting. Observe the following general requirements
when choosing a site for the switch:
Install the switch close to the DC power supplies
Verify that the site provides easy access to the ports on the front of the switch. This will
make it easy to connect and disconnect cables, as well as view the port LEDs.
Check that the site allows for adequate air flow around the unit and through its vents on
the top and bottom. Air vents should not be restricted so that the switch can maintain
adequate cooling.
Do not place objects on top of the switch.
Do not expose the switch to moisture or water.
You should use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply reliable
electrical power to the network devices.
