Hardware Installation
v1.0, May 2007
Select a Location
The switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch (48.26-centimeter) rack, wall-
mounted, or left freestanding (placed on a tabletop).
The site where you install the switch may greatly affect its performance. Before
installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen installation location
meets the following site requirements.
Table 3-1. Site Requirements for Switch Location
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 need the rack-mount kit supplied with your switch.
Access
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.
Power source
Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the
installation location. Power specifications for the switch is shown
in Appendix A, “Technical Specifications”. Be sure that the AC
outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally
turn off power to the outlet and the switch.
Environment
Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field
generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct
exposure to sunlight.
Temperature
The ambient switch operating temperature range is 32º to 104ºF
(0º to 40ºC). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as
direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
Operating humidity
Install the switch in a dry area with 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. Be sure that there is adequate
airflow in the room or wiring closet where you intend to install the
switch.
Cabling
Route the cable to avoid sources of electrical noise such as
radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and
fluorescent lighting fixtures.
