Hardware Installation 2-3

v1.0, July 2009

Installation

Install the equipment in the following sequence, as presented in this chapter:

1. Select a location. See the following section, “Selecting a Location.”

2. Install the switch. See “Installing the Switch” on page 2-4.

3. Check the installation. See “Checking the Installation” on page 2-5.

4. Apply power and check the LEDs. See “Connecting to Power and Check the LEDs” on

page 2-5.

Selecting a Location

The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch (48.26-centimeter) rack, wall mounted, or left

freestanding (placed on a tabletop). The site where you install the switch can greatly affect its

performance. Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen installation

location meets the following site requirements.

Table 2-1. Site Requirements for Switch Location

Requirements

Mounting • Desktop Installations. Provide a flat table or shelf surface.

• Rack-mount Installations. Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard

equipment rack that is grounded and physically secure, and the rack-mounting kit

supplied with your switch.

Access

Put the switch in a position that lets you access the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the

front panel LEDs, and access the rear panel power connector.

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, “Default Settings and

Technical Specifications.” Be sure that the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch,

which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch.

Environment Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as

motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

Temperature The ambient switch operating temperature range is 0º to 55ºC (32º and 131ºF). Keep

the switch away from heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm-air exhausts, hot-air

vents, and heaters.

Operating humidity Install the switch in a dry area with a maximum relative humidity of 90%,

noncondensing.
