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
•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
•Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with
•Protection from radio frequency interference emissions
•Electrical surge suppression
•Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromag- netic fields from data based network wiring
•Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields
Mounting
This switch can be mounted in a standard
Desktop or Shelf Mounting
1.Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the first switch.
2.Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow.
3.If installing a single switch only, go to “Connecting to a Power Source” at the end of this chapter.
4.If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each one. Place each device squarely on top of the one below, in any order.
Connecting to a Power Source
To connect a switch to a power source:
1.Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC receptacle located at the back of the switch.
2.Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded,
Note: For international use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country.
3.Check the

2.If the device is a network card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is con- nected to the wiring closet. (See “Network Wiring Connections” on page 25.) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.
•Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.
Note: Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment attached to the hub.
3.As each connection is made, the green Link LED (on the switch) corre- sponding to each port will light to indicate that the connection is valid.
