NETGEAR FS 726, FS 750 manual Preparing the Site, Characteristics Requirements

Preparing the Site

Before you install your switch, be sure your operating environment meets the operating environment requirements in Table 4-1.

Table 4-1. Site Requirements
Characteristics	Requirements
Mounting
Desktop installations:	Provide a flat table or shelf surface.
Rack-mount installations:	Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is
	grounded and physically secure. You also need the rack-mount kit supplied
	with your switch.
Access	Locate the switch in a position that lets you access the front panel RJ-45
	ports, view the front panel LEDs, and access the rear-panel stacking port(s)
	and power connector.
Power source	Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation
	location. Power specifications for the switches are shown in Appendix A. Be
	sure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally
	turn off power to the outlet and the switch.
Environmental
	Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0 and
Temperature:	40ºC (32 and 104ºF). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as
	direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
Operating humidity:	The installation location should have a maximum relative humidity of
	90%, non-condensing.
Ventilation:	Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of
	the switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for
	cooling. Be sure there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where
	you intend to install the switch.
Operating conditions:	Keep the switch at least 6 ft (1.83 m) away from nearest source of electro
	magnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.

After confirming that your site meets the requirements in Table 4-1, you are ready to install the switch.
