GS728TXS/GS752TXS Smart Switch
Step 1: Prepare the Site
Before you install the switch, ensure that the operating environment meets the site
requirements in the following table.
Table 5. Site requirements
Characteristics Requirements
Mounting • Desktop installations. Provide a flat table or shelf surface.
• Rack-mount installations. Use a 19 inch (48.3 centimeter) EIA st
andard equipment rack
that is grounded and physically secure. The rack-mount kit supplied with the switch is
also required.
Access Locate the switch in a position that allows you
to access the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the
front panel LEDs, and access the power connector.
Power source Provide a power connection cord. Power specifica
tions for the switch are shown in Appendix
B, Technical Specifications. Ensure that the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which
can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch.
Environmental • Temperature. Install the switch in a dry area
, with ambient temperature between 0ºC and
50ºC (32ºF and 122ºF). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as direct sunlight,
warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
• Operating humidity. The installation location should have a maximum relative humidity of
90
%, non-condensing.
• Ventilation. Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing
air inlets on the sides of the
switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. Be sure
that there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where the switch is installed.
• Operating conditions. Keep the switch at least 6 feet (1.8
3 meters) away from nearest
source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.
Step 2: Install the Switch
The smart switch can be used on a flat surface or mounted in a standard network equipment
rack.
Install the Switch on a Flat Surface
The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads.
 To install the switch on a flat surface:
Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch.
The rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock an
d vibrations. They also provide
ventilation space between stacked switches.
