Make sure that you follow common sense installation site
requirements and observe the following:
# Make sure that the switch’s power is accessible and cables can
be easily connected.
# Cabling must be away from sources of electrical noise such as
radios, transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, and
fluorescent fixtures.
# Ensure that the air vents on the side and rear of the switch are
not restricted.
# If you are desk mounting the switch, make sure it is placed on
a level, secure desktop.
# Do not place objects on top of the switch.
# Do not expose the switch to moisture or water.
# Make sure it is in a dust-free environment.
# Use a dedicated conditioned power circuit or UPS
(Uninterruptable Power Supply) to provide reliable electrical
power to the network devices.
