Notice
1. The device is a power-required device, meaning
it will not work till it is powered. If your
networks should be active all the time, please
consider using UPS (Uninterrupted Power
Supply) for your device. It will prevent you from
network data loss or network downtime.
2. In some areas, installing a surge suppression
device may also help to protect your Switch
from being damaged by unregulated surge or
current to the Switch or the power adapter.
