Chapter 3: Installation
3. Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step instructions for installing the Hardened Ethernet
Extender Switch.
3.1 Selecting a Site for the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch
As with any electric device, you should place the Hardened Ethernet Extender
Switch where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or
electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet the
following requirements:
• The ambient temperature should be between -40 to + 167° F (-40 to +75° C).
• The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC)
standards.
Make sure that the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch receives adequate
ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on each side of the Hardened
Ethernet Extender Switch.
3.2 DIN Rail Mounting
Connect the DIN rail attachment plate to the back panel of the Hardened
Ethernet Extender Switch.
Installation: Place the Hardened Ethernet Extender Switch on the DIN rail from
above using the slot. Push the front of the switch toward the mounting surface
until you hear it snap into place.
Removal: Pull out the lower edge and then remove the Hardened Ethernet
Extender Switch from the DIN rail.
