UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
This chapter provides unpacking and installation information for the Switch.
Unpacking Open the shipping cartons of the Switch and carefully unpacks its contents. The carton
should contain the following items:
One 48+4G-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Web Smart 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 item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for
replacement.
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.
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.
