Power
Notice
1. The device is a power-required device,
meaning it will not work till it is powered. If
your network should be active all the time,
please consider using UPS (Uninterrupted
Power Supply) for your device. It will
prevent you from network data loss or
network downtime.
2. In some area, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect your Gigabit
Ethernet Switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the Switch
or the power adapter.

6. Installing the Switch
This part describes how to install your Gigabit Ethernet
Switch and make connections to it. Please follow the
procedures below:
Note
This Gigabit Ethernet Switch does not need
software configuration.
Desktop Installation
To install the Gigabit Ethernet Switch on the desktop,
simply follow these steps:
Step 1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on
the bottom of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
Step 2: Place the Gigabit Ethernet Switch on the desktop
near an AC power source.
Step 3: Keep enough ventilation space between the Gigabit
Ethernet Switch and the surrounding objects.
Note
When choosing a location, please keep in mind
the environmental restrictions discussed in
Section 3 under Product Specifications.
