[. . . ] Site Requirements Characteristics Mounting Desktop installations: Rack-mount installations: Requirements Provide a flat table or shelf surface. Use a 19-inch (48. 3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is grounded and physically secure. You also need the rack-mount kit supplied with your switch. Locate the switch in a position that lets you access the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the front panel LEDs, and access the rear-panel power connector. Provide a power source within 6 feet (1. 8 meters) of the installation location. Power specifications for the switch is shown in Appendix C. Be sure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch. Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0 and 40ºC (32 and 104ºF). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters. The installation location should have a maximum relative humidity of 90%, non-condensing. Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of the switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5. 08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. Be sure there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where you intend to install the switch. Keep the switch at least 6 ft (1. 83 m) away from nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.

Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch. The rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock/vibrations. Installing the Switch in a Rack To install the switch in a rack, use the following procedure (and refer to Figure 3-1). To perform this procedure, you need the 19-inch rack-mount kit supplied with your switch. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch. Insert the screws provided in the rack-mount kit through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch. Tighten the screws with a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket. [. . . ] Check the crimp on the connectors and make sure that the plug is properly inserted and locked into the port at both the switch and the connecting device. Make sure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. Check for a defective adapter card, cable, or port by testing them in an alternate environment where all products are functioning. Make sure the attached device is set to auto negotiate. File transfer is slow or performance degradation is a problem. [. . . ]
