Installing the Hardware

This chapter provides instructions for installing the D-Link DES-3226L switch hardware. The following sections describe this installation process.

Preparing the Site for Installation

D-Link DES-3226L switches can be mounted in a standard 48.26-cm (19-inch) rack or left freestanding (placed on a tabletop).

Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen installation location meets the following site requirements:

zPower — The switch is installed near an easily accessible 100–250 VAC, 50–60 Hz out- let.

zGeneral — The power supply is correctly installed by checking that the LEDs on the front panel are illuminated.

zClearance — There is adequate frontal clearance for operator access. Allow clearance for cabling, power connections, and ventilation.

zCabling — The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise such as radio trans- mitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

zAmbient — The ambient switch operating temperature range is 0 to 50ºC (32 to 122ºF) at a relative humidity of 10 to 90 percent, non-condensing.
