Select a Location
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal
surface or a 19-inch rack.
Make sure that the location is:
• Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
• Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5
cm) of clear space on all sides of the switch.
• Well ventilated, especially if it is in a closet.
Install the Switch
1. For each device that you want to connect to the switch, provide
an enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) Ethernet cable with RJ-45
connections. Each Ethernet cable has to be less than 328 feet
(100 meters) long.
2. Install the switch on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack.
• Flat surface. The switch comes with four self-adhesive
footpads. Stick one footpad on each of the four concave
spaces on the bottom of the switch. The footpads cushion the
switch against shock and vibrations.
• Rack mounting. Follow the instructions in the 19-Inch Rack
Mounting section.
Verify Cable Connections
Before you apply power, perform the following checks:
1. Inspect the equipment thoroughly.
2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
3. Check cable routing to ensure that cables are not damaged and will
not create a safety hazard.
4. Be sure that all equipment is mounted securely.
