INSTALLATION

Selecting a Site

Before you start actual hardware installation, make sure you can provide the right operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical space and proximity to other network devices. Verify the following installation requirements:

◆The site should:

•be located in a cool, dry place, with at least 4 in. (10 cm) of space at the front and back for ventilation

•be located out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or areas with a high amount of electromagnetic interference

•allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible

◆Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference (i.e., radios, transmitters, etc.).

◆Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 8 feet (2.44 m) of the unit. The switch’s power supply automatically detects the input voltage level. And, as with any electronic equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
