Prepare to Install the Switch

Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface such as
a table, desk or shelf. The switch comes with wall-mounting screws. You can use
the screws if you want to hang the switch in an open space on a wall. Make sure
the selected location is:
• Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
• Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear
space on all sides of the switch.
• Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
Also, you will need one Category 5e (Cat 5e) Ethernet cable with RJ-45
connectors for each device you want to connect to the switch. Each Ethernet
cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).

Install the Switch and Connect the Other Devices

1. Place the switch on a flat surface or hook onto the screws.
