GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch

Step 1: Prepare the Site

Before you install the switch, ensure the operating environment meets the site requirements in the following table.

Characteristics Requirements

Mounting

Desktop installations - Provide a flat table or shelf surface.

 

Rackmount installations - Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment

 

rack that is grounded and physically secure. The rackmount kit supplied with the

 

switch is also required.

 

 

Access

Locate the switch in a position that allows access to 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 A. 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 0

 

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%, 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 the switch is

 

installed.

 

Operating conditions - Keep the switch at least 6 ft. (1.83 meters) away from

 

nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.
