Before You Connect to the Network

The site where you install the Switch may greatly affect its performance.

Please follow these guidelines for setting up the Switch.

• Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support at

least 3 kg (6.6 lbs) of weight. Do not place heavy objects on the

Switch.

• The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the

Switch.

• Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to

the AC power port.

• Make sure that there is adequate space for proper heat dissipation

from and adequate ventilation around the Switch. Leave at least

10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Switch for

ventilation.

• Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place for the acceptable

temperature and humidity operating ranges.

• Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field

generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure

to sunlight.

• When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber

feet to the bottom of the device. The rubber feet cushion the

Switch, protect the casing from scratches and prevent it from

scratching other surfaces.
