NSTALLATION
This chapter provides unpacking and installation information for the Switch. To avoid
causing any damage to the Switch, we recommend that you read this chapter carefully
before starting installation.
Unpacking
Open the shipping carton of the Switch and carefully unpack the items inside. The
carton should contain the following items:
ˇ One 24-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch with 2 Ports 10/100/1000Mbps
ˇ One AC power cord, suitable for your area’s electrical power connections
ˇ Four rubber feet to be used for shock cushioning
ˇ Screws and two mounting brackets
ˇ User’s Guide
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for
replacement.
Installation
The site where you place the Switch may greatly affect its performance. When
installing, take the following into your consideration:
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the
acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as
motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA
standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section,
Rack Mounting .
When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of
each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching.
