3.4 Preparing for Installation
Switches can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Follow these general precautions
when planning your equipment locations and connections.
The site needs the following:
•
Centrally located to the devices you want to link
•
Near a power outlet.
•
Constant temperature within 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C) and its humidity within 10% to 90%, non-condensing
•
Adequate space (approximately 2 in or 5 cm) on all sides for proper air flow
•
Accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices
•
Clearly visible status LEDs
Additional precautions:
•
Keep the front of the chassis free from obstruction and away from the exhaust air of other equipment. Electrical
equipment generates heat and the ambient room temperature be enough to cool the equipment to required
operating temperatures.
•
Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other
sources of electrical interference, for example radios and transmitters.
•
Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60
Hz, is within 8 ft (2.44 m) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any
equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
3.5 Unpacking and Inspecting
Before you unpack your equipment examine all shipping containers for damage. If any damage has occurred, notify
the shipping carrier immediately. Unpack the unit by removing the packing material and lifting it from the protective
enclosures. Visually examine the equipment and check the container for parts and accessories. You should have the
following items:
•
An IntraCore IC3624PWR PoE switch
•
Four adhesive foot pads
•
A Rack Mounting Kit
•
Two brackets
•
Four screws for attaching the brackets
•
An AC Power Cord
•
An RS-232 console cable
