Selecting a Site

Be sure to observe the following requirements when choosing a site for your
switch.

Select a site that is dust-free and moisture-free.

Be sure that the site will allow you to easily access the switch’s power
and data cables.

Make sure that the switch is placed on a flat, secure surface (such as
a desk or table) if you want to use it with desktop configuration.

Make sure the air flow around the switch and through its vents on the
side and back are not restricted.

Be sure that the twisted pair port cabling is kept away from sources of
electrical noise; such as radios, transmitters, power lines, broadband
amplifiers, electrical motors, and fluorescent fixtures.

Use a dedicated power circuit or a power conditioner to supply reliable
power to the switch.
