1.5 Installation
This switch can be placed on your desktop or another flat surface or mounted in a rack. Refer to the
instructions for installation.
Before operating the switch, it’s recommended that:
1. The switch is placed within an appropriate ventilation environment. A minimum of 25 mm of
space around the unit is recommended.
2. The switch and the relevant components are away from sources of electrical noise such as radios,
transmitters and broadband amplifiers.
3. The switch is not placed in an excessively moist or humid environment.
Desktop Installation
1. Install the switch on a level surface that can support the weight of the unit and the relevant
components.
2. Connect the switch to the female end of the provided power cord and plug the male end into the
power outlet.
Rackmount Installation
The switch may be standalone or mounted in a rack. Rackmounting allows a more orderly installation
when you are going to install a series of networking devices.
Procedures for rackmounting the switch:
1. Disconnect all the cables from the switch.
2. Place the unit on a hard, flat surface with the front facing you.
3. Position a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.
4. Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver.
5. Repeat the two previous steps for the other side of the unit.
6. Insert the unit into the rack and secure with suitable screws.
7. Reconnect all the cables.
Installing Network Cables
1. Crossover or straight-through cable: All the ports on the switch support Auto-MDI/MDI-X
functionality. Both straight-through or crossover cables can be used as the media to connect the
switch with PCs as well as other devices like switches, hubs or routers.
