Secure the lock (not provided) into the security slot to prevent the device from being stolen.
The switch already comes with lightning protection mechanism. You can also ground the
switch through the PE (Protecting Earth) cable of AC cord or with Ground Cable.
Plug the female connector of the power cord directly into the power socket and plug the
male connector into an AC outlet. Make sure that the voltage of the power supply meets
the requirement of the input voltage (100–240 V ~ 50/60 Hz).

Installation
Connection
Note:
Leave 5 to 10 cm gaps around the devices for air circulation.
Avoid placing heavy things on the device.
Place the device with its bottom facing downwards.
Mount devices in sequence from the bottom to top of the rack and ensure a certain clearance
between devices for the purpose of heat dissipation.
1) Remove the adhesive backing papers from the rubber feet.
2) Attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the switch to prevent it from slipping when placed on a
desktop.

Protocol
To avoid any device damage and bodily injury caused by improper use, you should observe the following
rules.
Keep the power o during the installation.
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure that the wrist strap has a good skin contact and is
well grounded.
Use only the power cord provided with the switch.
Make sure that the supply voltage matches the specications indicated on the rear panel of the
switch.
Ensure that the switch is installed in a well-ventilated environment and its ventilation hole is not
blocked.
Do not open or remove the cover of the switch.
Before cleaning the device, cut o the power supply. Do not clean it by the waterish cloth, and never
use any other liquid cleaning method.
Place the device with its bottom surface downward.

Installation Site
When installing the device on a rack or a at workbench, attach much importance to the following items:
The rack or workbench is at, stable, and sturdy enough to support the weight of 5.5 kg at least.
The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system. The equipment room is well ventilated.
The rack is well grounded. Keep the device less than 1.5 meters away from the power socket.
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be aected by external
interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, and
impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, make sure to take the following measures:
Use the power supply that can eectively lter interference from the power grid.
Keep the device far from high-frequency and strong-current devices such as radio transmitting
station.
Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Electromagnetic Interference
The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact of
metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the device to prevent static electricity, but
too strong static electricity can cause deadly damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit
board. To avoid the eect of static electricity on the operation of the switch, attach much importance to
the following items:
Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
Keep the device well grounded and ensure that the static electricity has been transferred.
Keep the equipment room at an appropriate level of temperature and humidity. Too much or too little
humidity may lead to bad insulation, leakage of electricity, mechanical property changes, and corrosion.
High temperatures may accelerate aging of the insulation materials, signicantly shortening the service
life of the device. To nd out the best temperature and humidity conditions for the device, check the
following table.

Lightning Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the air in the
electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000 °C. As this instant current is strong enough
to damage electronic devices, more eective lightning protection measures should be taken.
Ensure that the rack and the device are well earthed.
Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground.
Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning.
Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device) when wiring outdoor.
Note:
For detailed lightning protection measures, refer to the Lightning Protection Guide of our website:
https://www.tp-link.com/us/conguration-guides/lightning_protection_guide.
Safety Information
Keep the device away from water, re, humidity or hot environments.
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the device. If you need service, please contact us.
Place the device with its bottom surface downward.
The plug on the power supply cord is used as the disconnect device, the socket-outlet shall be easily accessible.
Plug the product into the wall outlets with earthing connection through the power supply cord.
