Installation
This chapter provides unpacking and installation information for the Switch.

2.1 Package Contents

Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton should contain
the following items:
• 50-Port Dual Web Rack Switch
• One AC power cord, suitable for your area’s electrical power connections
• Four rubber feet to be used for shock cushioning
• Screws and two mounting brackets
• CD-Rom with Web Management Utility and User’s Guide
If any of the above items are missing, please contact your reseller.
2.2 Installation
The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider
the following pointers:
• Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Technical Specifications for the
acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.
• Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors),
vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
• Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.
• Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-
size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.
• When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each
device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching.

2.3 Rack Mounting

The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring
closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the switch’s front panel (one on each
side), and secure them with the provided screws.
