Chapter 2: Installation

2.1Mounting the Switch on a Desk

Before place the Switch on a desk, attach four rubber footpads to the flutes on the Switch bottom, then lay the Switch on the desktop, where can be have as much as 5kg placed on top.

Note: Make sure there is a grounded AC outlet within 1.5 meters, and working well.

Make sure there is free space for radiating heat and air. Make sure not to place anything to heavy on top of the switch.

2.2Mounting the Switch in a Rack

The dimension of TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016/TL-SG1024 is designed according to the standard 19rack-mountable steel case of Electronic Industries Association.

Turn off all the equipment connected to the Switch before mounting it in the rack, then rivet the two Lbrackets onto each side of the Switch, fasten it with screws in the rack.

2.3Power on

TL-SG1008/TL-SG1016/TL-SG1024 8/16/24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is powered by AC power supply. Powering on the Switch, it will automatically initialize and its LED indicators should respond as follows:

1)All of the Link/Act, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps LED indicators will flash momentarily for one second, which represent a resetting of the system.

2)The Power and FAN LED indicator (only for TL-SG1024) will light up.
