Table 3. 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. The rack-mount kit supplied with the switch is

 

also required.

 

 

Access

Locate the switch in a position that allows you to access the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the

 

front panel LEDs, and access the power connector.

Power source

Provide a power connection cord. Power specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix

 

B, Technical Specifications. Ensure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can

 

accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch.

Environmental

• Temperature. Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0ºC and

 

50ºC (32ºF and 122ºF). 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%, noncondensing.

 

• 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

 

that there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where the switch is installed.

 

• Operating conditions. Keep the switch at least 6 feet. (1.83 meters) away from nearest

 

source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.

 

 

Step 2: Install the Switch

The smart switch can be used on a flat surface or mounted in a standard network equipment rack.
