2. Installing 24+2G Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart Switch
This switch can be placed directly on your desktop, or mounted in a rack. Users
can immediately use most of the features simply by attaching the cables and
turning the power on.
2.1 Desktop Installation
For desktop installation, the switch needs to put on a clean, flat desk or table
close to a power outlet. Plug in all network cables and the power cord, then the
system is ready.
Before installing the switch, you must ensure:
1. It is accessible and cables can be connected easily
2. Cabling is away from:
Sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband
amplifiers
Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
3. Keep water or moisture off
4. Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is great
for heat radiation (company recommend that you provide a minimum of 25
mm clearance)
To prolong the operational life of your units:
1. Never stack unit more than eight sets high if freestanding
2. Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack
3. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case
2.2 Rack-mount Installation
The switch may standalone, or may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment
rack. Rack mounting produces an orderly installation when you have a number of
related network devices. The switch is supplied with rack mounting brackets and
screws. These are used for rack mounting the unit.
Rack Mounting the Switch in the 19-inch rack:
1. Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing.
2. Place the unit the right way up on a hard, flat surface with the front facing
toward you.
3. Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.
