Selecting a Site
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when selecting a site for your
switch.
❑ Select a site that is dust-free and moisture-free.
❑ Select a site that will allow you to easily access the data cables and
power cord.
❑ Use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply reliable
power to the device.
Installing the Switch
To install an AT-FS20x or AT-FS202SC/FSx Series Switch, perform the
following procedures:
1. Remove all equipment from the package and store the packaging in a safe
place.
Note
Do not remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port until you are
ready to connect the fiber optic cable. Dust contamination can adversely
impact the operating performance of the port and the switch.
2. Attach the four protective feet (provided) to each corner of the base of the
unit. Do not attach the protective feet if you are installing the
switch in an AT-MCR12 chassis.
