Selecting a Site
Before you start actual hardware installation, make sure you can
provide the right operating environment, including power
requirements, sufficient physical space and proximity to other
network devices. Verify the following installation requirements:
◆ The site should:
• be located in a cool, dry place, with at least 4 in. (10 cm)
of space at the front and back for ventilation
• be located out of direct sunlight and away from heat
sources or areas with a high amount of electromagnetic
interference
• allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible
◆ Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from
power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources
of electrical interference (i.e., radios, transmitters, etc.).
◆ Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that
provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 8 feet
(2.44 m) of the unit. The switch’s power supply
automatically detects the input voltage level. And, as with
any electronic equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor
is recommended.
