Installation Guidelines

The switch can be installed on a table or shelf, in a rack, or on a wall.

Before installing the switch, first verify that the switch is operational by powering it on and running POST. Follow the procedures in the “Powering On the Switch and Running POST” section on page 2-25.

Caution There are no serviceable parts inside the unit. Removing screws, cover, or otherwise dismantling the unit voids the warranty.

Warning Unplug the power cord before you work on a system that does not have an on/off switch.

When determining where to place the switch, be sure to observe these guidelines:

For 10/100 ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices are up to 328 feet (100 meters).

For 100BASE-FX ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected devices are up to 1351 feet (412 meters) for half-duplex connections and less than 6561 feet (2 kilometers) for full-duplex connections.
