Setup Guide

N20xx Series Installation
You can mount the N20xx Series switches in a standard 48.26 cm (19 inches) rack or placed on a flat surface.
Make sure that the installation location meets the following site requirements:
• Power—The switch is installed near an easily accessible 100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz outlet.
• Clearance—There is adequate front and rear clearance for operator access. Allow clearance for cabling, power connections, and
ventilation.
• Cabling—The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise such as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and
fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• Ambient Temperature—The ambient switch operating temperature range is 0º C to 45º C (32º F to 113º F) at a relative humidity of
up to 95 percent, noncondensing.
NOTE: Decrease the maximum temperature by 1° C (1.8° F) per 300 m (985 ft.) above 900 m (2955 ft.).
• Relative Humidity—The operating relative humidity is 8% to 85%, noncondensing, with a maximum humidity gradation of 10% per
hour.
