2. Installation

2.1 Preparing the Site

Select the site that meets the following requirements:

Characteristic Requirement

Temperature (0 to 40˚C) 32 to 104˚F

Humidity

2.2 Settling the Switch

5% ~ 90%, non-condensing z Mounted to 19-inch standard rack

Locate the accessories provided in the product package. Use the rack-mount brackets and screws to install the switch into any EIA 19” standard rack.

Step 1: Attach the brackets to each side of the chassis.

Step 2: Apply the screws to each side and secure them tightly.

Step 3: Carefully position the switch into the rack.

Step 4: Align the brackets to the side holes on the rack and use rack screws to secure the chassis with the rack. z

Desktop or any flat surface

The switch can sit on desktop or any flat surface with adequate space and ventilation. If you want to place it onto a shelf, make sure the shelf can withstand the weight of the switch.

Step 1: Simply put the switch on the desired place.

Step 2: Ensure the switch receives good ventilation.

Step 3: Proceed to the “Connecting to Power” section.

2.3 Connecting to Power

Locate the provided AC power cord.

Step 1: Connect the AC power cord to the receptacle at the back of the switch.

Step 2: Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with a voltage ranging from 100 to 240

VAC.

Step 3: The power LED on the front panel will come on then.

2.4 Connecting to Network z

Connecting the Ethernet to the Chassis:

Step 1: First, ensure the power of the switch (and end devices) is turned off.

L It may cause electric shock or any possible harm to you if the power is not switched off.

Step 2: Prepare cable with corresponding connectors for each type of port in use.

Step 3: Connect one end of the cable to the switch and the other end to a desired device.

Step 4: Once the connections between two end-devices are made successfully, turn on the power.

Note: If you have no modules, please skip this section. z

Connecting the SFP Module to the Chassis:

The optional SFP modules are hot swappable, so you can plug or unplug it before or after powering on.

Step 1: Verify that the SFP module is the right model and conforms to the chassis

Step 2: Slide the module along the slot. Also be sure that the module is properly seated against the slot socket/connector

Step 3: Install the media cable for network connection

Step 4: Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each module to be installed into slot(s)

Step 5: Have the power ON after the above procedures are done

In making a switch interconnection, you could use any port to connect another switch with straight or crossover cable. As all the ports support auto-uplink (MDI / MDI-X) function, using a straight cable to make a switch-to-switch connection is allowed.
