Preparing Your Site

This chapter provides information that you should read before you begin cabling and configuring the Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 Series. This information includes selecting an appropriate site, safety guidelines, information on the power cord, voltage settings, and external vent cooling and airflow recommendations.

Selecting a Site

This Switch is designed to operate reliably in a typical office environment. You should select a site that meets the following criteria:

Has a desktop or surface that is off the floor.

Has access to a grounded, three-pronged power outlet.

-Uses a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC or a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 VAC (US and Canada).

-Uses a three-pronged power outlet that is applicable for the region’s electrical code (elsewhere).

Remains dust free and clean.

Is away from heat sources and is well ventilated.

Allows adequate clearance for cooling and airflow -- about 10 centimeters (3.93 inches) in back, 5 centimeters (1.96 inches) on each side, and 10 centimeters (3.93 inches) in front.
