Unpacking and Installation
This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the 16/24 Port Fast Ethernet
switches.
Unpacking
Before you start installing your switch, verify that the package contains the following:
• A NS-16T or NS-24T Fast Ethernet Switch
• Mounting Accessories (for 19” Rack Shelf mounting)
• This Users Manual CD-ROM
• AC Power Cord
Please notify your supplier immediately if any of the aforementioned items are missing or
damaged.
Installation
The site where you install the 16/24 Port Fast Ethernet Switch may greatly affect its
performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See Specifications for the acceptable
temperature and humidity operating ranges.
Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as
motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the switch for ventilation.
Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA
standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section,
Rack mounting.
When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of each
device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching.
