GS716T, GS724T and GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 1: Prepare the Site Before you install the switch, ensure the operating environment meets the operating environment requirements in the following table. Table 4. 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. The rack-mount kit supplied with the switch is also required. Access Locate the switch in a position that allows access to the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the front panel LEDs, and access power connector. Power source Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location. Power specifications for the switch are shown in GS716T/GS724T Back Panel Configuration 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 0 and 55ºC (32 and 131ºF). 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. (1.83 m) away from nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine. 18
