3 INSTALLING THE SWITCH
SELECTING A SITE
Switch units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat
surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
◆ The site should:
■
be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power
source.
■
be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 45 °C (32 to 113 °F)
and its humidity within 10% to 90%, non-condensing.
■
provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for
proper air flow.
■
be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices.
■
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,
such as radios and transmitters.
◆ Make sure that the unit is connected to an independent grounded DC power
circuit. Verify that the power requirements for the unit can be met as listed
under “DC Input” on page 58.
