Chapter 3: Installing the Switch

Selecting a Site

Switches can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.

•The site should:

•be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.

•be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F) and its humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing

•provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air flow

•be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices

•allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible

•Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.

•Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2.44 m (8 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.

Ethernet Cabling

To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your network:

•Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5e or better for 1000BASE-T.

•Protection from radio frequency interference emissions

•Electrical surge suppression

•Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring

•Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields

Getting Started Guide OmniStackThis Manual documents OmniStack 6300-24 hardware and software This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions in this guide, may cause interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense Page EC Conformance Declaration - Class B Compliances and Safety WarningsFCC - Class B Japan VCCI Class B Industry Canada - Class BUnderwriters Laboratories Compliance Statement Safety ComplianceWarning Fiber Optic Port Safety Warnhinweis Faseroptikanschlüsse - Optische SicherheitWichtige Sicherheitshinweise Germany Environmental Statement Warnings and Cautionary MessagesEnd of Product Life Span Manufacturing MaterialsThe OmniStack 6300 User Guide PurposeRelated Publications Contents Appendix C Specifications Appendix A TroubleshootingAppendix B Cables Glossary IndexTables Tables Figures Figures Chapter 1 Introduction Switch ArchitectureOverview Network Management OptionsSFP Slots Description of Hardware10/100/1000BASE-T Ports Figure 1-2.
