Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches Installation and User Guide (06/03)

3.0INSTALLATION

Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the following precautions:

1.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, the environmental temperature around the equipment must be less than or equal to 500C.

2.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, adequate air flow must be maintained for proper and safe operation.

3.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack system placement of the equipment must not overload or load unevenly the rack system.

4.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly, verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent overloading of the building/s electrical circuits.

5.) If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and uncompromised earthing path.

Installation: This section describes installation of the Magnum Quad-Series Switches, as well as connection of the various Ethernet media types.

3.1Locating Magnum Quad-Series Switches

The location of a Magnum Quad-Series Switch is dependent on the physical

layout of the network. Typically the Switch is placed in a central wiring location where groups of network devices need to be connected in order to communicate with each other. These Switches are typically rack mounted in a wiring closet see Section 3.3.2 below), but because they have rubber feet they can also be installed on a shelf or table top. The compact size of the 8-port QS580 unit allows it to be easily placed in an office or lab area, and it can also be either shelf of wall-mounted (see Section 3.3.1 below).

Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum Quad-Series site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum Quad-Series will normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can occur from the small fan on the left side, while the unit is in operation. See figure below.
