DWS-3160 Series Gigabit Ethernet Unified Switch Hardware Installation Guide Chapter 2 Installation Installation Guidelines Connecting to a Redundant Power Supply Installation Guidelines This section will discuss the hardware installation guidelines that the user must follow in order to properly and safely install this Switch into the appropriate environment. • Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is fully secured to both the power connector, on the Switch, and the electrical outlet, that supplies power. • Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place within 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. Installing the Switch without a Rack This section is used to guide the user through installing the Switch in an area other than a switch rack. Attach the rubber feet included to the bottom of the Switch. Take note that there should be marked blocks on the bottom of the Switch to indicate where to attach the rubber feet. These marking are usually found at each bottom corner of the device. The rubber feet cushion the Switch, protecting the casing from scratches and preventing it from scratching other surfaces. Figure 2- 1. Prepare the Switch for installation on a desktop or shelf Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support the weight of the Switch (see the Appendix section for the weight specifications of each Switch). Do not place any heavy objects on the Switch. The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Switch. Make sure that there is 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. Installing the Switch into a Rack This section is used to guide the user through installing the Switch into a switch rack. The Switch can be mounted in a standard 19"(1U) rack using the provided mounting brackets. Use the following diagram as a guide. 7
