Selecting a Site
Be sure to follow the site selection guidelines below when
choosing a location:
• Select a suitable location for the switch:
• It should be accessible for installing, cabling and
maintaining the switch.
• The temperature and humidity should be within the ranges
listed in the specifications.
• The status LEDs should be clearly visible.
• There should be adequate space (approximately two
inches) on all sides for proper air flow.
• Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power
lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical
interference such as radios, transmitters, etc.
• Make sure that a properly grounded power outlet is within 8
feet (2.44 meters) of the switch and is powered from an
independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a
filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
