Installation Guidelines
Please follow these guidelines for setting up the Switch:
• Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support at least 6 kg (13.2 lb). Do not place
heavy objects on the Switch.
• The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch.
• Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to the AC power port.
• Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the
Switch. Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Switch for
ventilation.
• Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place 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.
• When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the device.
The rubber feet cushion the Switch, protect the casing from scratches and prevent it from
scratching other surfaces.
Installing the Switch without a Rack
First, attach the rubber feet included with the Switch if installing on a desktop or shelf. Attach these
cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between
the Switch and any other objects in the vicinity.
