GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switch Step 1: Prepare the Site Before you install the switch, ensure that the operating environment meets the site requirements in the following table. 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 you to access the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the front panel LEDs, and access the power connector. Power source Provide a power connection cord. Power specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix A, Troubleshooting. 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 0ºC and 40ºC (32ºF and 104ºF). 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 that there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where the switch is installed. • Operating conditions. Keep the switch at least 6 feet. (1.83 meters) away from nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine. Step 2: Install the Switch The GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switch can be used on a flat surface or mounted in a standard network equipment 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. Install the Switch in a Rack To install the switch in a rack, you need the 19-inch rack-mount kit supplied with the switch. 1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch. 2. Insert the screws provided in the rack-mount kit through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch. 22

Step 2: Install the Switch
The GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switch can be used on a flat
surface or mounted in a standard network equipment 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.
