Selecting a Site

Be sure to observe the following requirements when choosing a site for your
switch.

❑

Select a site that is dust-free and moisture-free.

❑

Be sure that the site will allow you to easily access the switch’s power
and data cables.

❑

Make sure that the switch is placed on a flat, secure surface (such as
a desk or table) if you want to use it with desktop configuration.

❑

Make sure the air flow around the switch and through its vents on the
side and back are not restricted.

❑

Be sure that the twisted pair port cabling is kept away from sources of
electrical noise; such as radios, transmitters, power lines, broadband
amplifiers, electrical motors, and fluorescent fixtures.

❑

Use a dedicated power circuit or a power conditioner to supply reliable
power to the switch.
