NETGEAR GS510TP Smart Switch
Step 2: Installing the Switch
The GS510TP Smart Switch can be used on a flat surface or mount in a rack.
Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface
The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of
the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch. The rubber footpads cushion the switch
against shock/vibrations.
Rack Mounting the Switch
To mount the switch in a rack, attach the included rack mounting brackets to the switch. Then
connect the switch to the rack, securing the mounting brackets to the rack.
Power source AC power cord (included). Power specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix A.
Ensure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off
power to the outlet and the switch.
Environmental • Temperature - Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0ºC
and 50ºC (32ºC and 122ºF). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as direct
sunlight, warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
• Operating humidity - The installation location should have a maximum relative
humidity of 90%, non-condensing.
• Ventilation - Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of
the switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. Be
sure there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where the switch is installed.
• Operating conditions - Keep the switch at least 6 ft. (1.83m) away from nearest
source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.
