Choosing a Suitable
Location
The switch can be free-standing (see “Free-Standing Installation” on
page 12), or it can be mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack using the
supplied mounting kit (see “Rack-Mount Installation” on page 13). When
deciding where to position the switch, ensure that:
■ It is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
■ Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise. These include elevator
shafts, microwave ovens, and air-conditioning units. Electromagnetic
fields can interfere with the signals on copper cabling and introduce
errors, and, consequently, slow down your network.
■ Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
