ProSAFE Fast Ethernet PoE Smart Switch FS728TLP Step 1: Prepare the Site Before you install the switch, ensure that the operating environment meets the requirements in that are described the following table. Table 2. Site requirements Characteristics Requirements Mounting • Desktop installations. Provide a flat table or shelf surface. • Rack-mount installations. Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is grounded and physically secure. You also need to use the rack-mount kit that is supplied with the switch. Access Place the switch in a position that allows access to the RJ-45 ports on the front panel, that allows you to see the LEDs on the front panel, and that allows you easy and safe access to the power connector. Power source Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location. Power specifications for the switch are described in Appendix A, Physical and Technical Specifications. Ensure that the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch. Environmental • Temperature. Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0 and 50ºC (32 and 122ºF). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm-air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters. • Operating humidity. The installation location should have a maximum relative humidity of 90%, noncondensing. • Ventilation. 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. The room or wiring closet in which the switch is installed needs to have adequate airflow. • Operating conditions. Keep the switch at least 6 feet (1.83 meters) away from the nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine. Step 2: Install the Switch You can install the switch on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack. Install 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 and vibrations. Installation 14
