Table 2-1. Site Requirements (continued)

 

 

Characteristics

Requirements

 

 

Power source

Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location. Power

 

specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix A Appendix A “Troubleshooting”.

 

Ensure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off

 

power to the outlet and the switch.

 

 

Environmental

• Temperature - Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0 and

 

40ºC (32 and 104ºF). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as direct sunlight,

 

warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.

 

• Operating humidity - The installation location should have a maximum relative

 

humidity of 90%, non-condensing.

 

• Ventilation - Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of

 

the switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. Be

 

sure there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where the switch is installed.

 

• Operating conditions - Keep the switch at least 6 ft. (1.83 m) away from nearest

 

source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.

 

 

Step 2: Installing the Switch

The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be installed on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack.

Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface

The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch. The rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock/vibrations.

Installing the Switch in a Rack

To install the switch in a rack, use the following procedure (and refer to Figure 2-1). To perform this procedure, you need the 19-inch rack-mount kit supplied with switch.

1.Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch.

2.Insert the screws provided in the rack-mount kit through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch.

3.Tighten the screws with a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.

4.Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert two pan-head screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack.
