Preparing Your Site
This chapter provides information that you should read before you begin cabling
and configuring the Contivity Extranet Switch 1500 Series. This information
includes selecting an appropriate site, safety guidelines, information on the power
cord, voltage settings, and external vent cooling and airflow recommendations.
Selecting a Site
T
his Switch is designed to operate reliably in a typical office environment. You
should select a site that meets the following criteria:
• Has a desktop or surface that is off the floor.
• Has access to a grounded, three-pronged power outlet.
- Uses a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC or a NEMA 6-15R
outlet for 200-240 VAC (US and Canada).
- Uses a three-pronged power outlet that is applicable for the region’s
electrical code (elsewhere).
• Remains dust free and clean.
• Is away from heat sources and is well ventilated.
• Allows adequate clearance for cooling and airflow -- about 10 centimeters
(3.93 inches) in back, 5 centimeters (1.96 inches) on each side, and 10
centimeters (3.93 inches) in front.
