Prepare to Install the Switch
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface — such as a table,
desk or shelf. The switch comes with wall-mounting screws and a vertical stand. You’re
welcome to use the screws if you want to hang the switch in an open space on a wall. Use the
vertical stand if you cannot provide adequate clear space on all sides with the switch in a
horizontal position.
Make sure the selected location is:
•Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
•Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space on all
sides of the switch.
•Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
Also, you’ll need one Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors for each device
you want to connect to the switch. Each Ethernet cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).
