1.2 Installation
You can use the following guidelines when choosing a place to install the Switch.
• The surface must support at least 3 kg. Do not place heavy objects on the Switch.
• You must be able to visually inspect the power cord and AC power connector.
• Ensure proper heat dissipation by making sure there is adequate ventilation around the
Switch.
Desktop or Shelf Installation:
When installing the Switch on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet included with the device should
attached first. Attach these cushioning feet on the bottom at each corner of the device. Allow
adequate space for ventilation between the device and the objects around it.
Rack Installation:
The NP2624M switch can be mounted in an ELA standard-sized, 19-inch rack, which can be placed
in a wiring closet with other equipment. To install, attach the mounting brackets on the switch side
panels (one on each side) and secure them with the screws provided. Then, use the screws provided
with the equipment rack to mount the switch on the rack.
Power on:
The NP2624M switch can be used with an AC power supply 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz. The AC
power connector is located at the rear of the unit. The switch’s power supply will adjust to the local
power source automatically and may be turned on with all or none of the LAN segment cables
connected.
After the power switch is turned on, the LED indicators should respond as follows:
• All LED indicators will momentarily blink. This blinking of the LED indicators
represents a reset of the system.
• The power LED indicator will blink while the Switch loads onboard software and
performs a self-test. After approximately 20 seconds, the LED will light again to
indicate the switch is in a ready state.
• The Speed, Link/Activity LED indicator may remain ON or OFF depending on every
port’s situation.
• The fan LED will switch off if the fan is working normally. The LED goes RED if the
fan has stopped or failed.
