When installing, take the following into your consideration. 2.1 Installation Follow the guidelines below to install the Switch: Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See the Technical Specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges. Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight. Connect the power cord to the Switch and the power outlet. The distance is no more than 182cm. Leave at least 10cm (about 4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation. 2.2 Desktop or Shelf Installation When installing the Switch on the desktop or shelf, please attach the rubber feet to the Switch. Peel off the protective paper on the pads and attach them on the bottom of the Switch (one at each corner). 8 2.3 Rack Installation The Switch is rack-mountable and can be installed on an EIA 13-inch equipment rack. To do this, first install the mounting brackets on the Switch’s side panels (one on each side), secure them with the included screws, and then use the screws provided with the equipment rack to mount the Switch. 2.4 Power on the Switch The Switch has a universal power supply ranging from 100V to 240V AC, 50 ~ 60Hz power source. The AC power connector is located at the rear of the unit. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically. 9 3 3 Connecting the Switch This section describes how to connect the Switch to your 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet network. 3.1 Connection Your network device (i.e. computer, switch, IP Camera, VoIP) can be connected to any port of the Switch via a two-pair UTP Category 5 Cable.
