NETGEAR GS510TP Smart Switch Table 3. Site Requirements (continued) Characteristics Requirements Power source AC power cord (included). Power specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix A. Ensure 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 0ºC and 50ºC (32ºC 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%, non-condensing. • 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 there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where the switch is installed. • Operating conditions - Keep the switch at least 6 ft. (1.83m) away from nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine. Step 2: Installing the Switch The GS510TP Smart Switch can be used on a flat surface or mount in a rack. 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. Rack Mounting the Switch To mount the switch in a rack, attach the included rack mounting brackets to the switch. Then connect the switch to the rack, securing the mounting brackets to the rack. Installation 20
