Hardware Overview Front Panel Ports 1-8 PoE In PoE Out Port Description Ports 1-8 RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections. PoE In (Port 1) Supports 802.3af/at or 48V Passive PoE to power the switch and can provide 48V (2-pair) PoE passthrough to port 8. PoE Out (Port 8) PoE output is Off by default. Enabling PoE output requires 24W input power via PoE In or DC input. The UniFi Switch may be powered by PoE through the PoE In port or by DC input using a 48V power adapter.
Back Panel Ground DC In Reset Button Port Description Ground Ancillary grounding point for enhanced ESD protection. DC In To power the switch by DC input, connect a 48V power adapter to the 48VDC port. Reset Button This button serves two functions for the UniFi Switch: • Restart Press and release the Reset button quickly. • Restore to Factory Default Settings Press and hold the Reset button for more than five seconds.

Side Panels Ventilation Holes WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR ADEQUATE AIRFLOW. WARNING: The US-8 must not be stacked. Do not place it on top of another switch. Do not place anything on top of the US-8.
Hardware Installation The UniFi Switch can be mounted on a vertical surface or placed on a desktop. Follow the Wall Mounting instructions to mount the switch using the included screws and anchors. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the switch to rain or moisture. Wall Mounting 1. Drill two 6 mm holes set 73.5 mm apart. 73.5 mm 2. Insert a Screw Anchor into each hole, and fasten a Screw into each anchor. 3.
4. Mount the UniFi Switch by inserting the screw heads into the mounting slots on the bottom of the switch. Then slide the switch down to lock it in place.
Grounding (Recommended) The UniFi Switch is grounded through the Power Adapter. When powering the switch with PoE, ground the device by connecting the ancillary ground. 1. Loosen the ground screw and secure a ground wire (not included) to the grounding point. 2. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding block or other grounded structure. Connecting Power The UniFi Switch can be powered by PoE or DC input using the Power Adapter. Power by PoE Connect an Ethernet cable from an 802.
Power by DC Input 1. Connect the Power Adapter to the 48VDC port on the back of the UniFi Switch. 2. Connect the Power Cord to the Power Adapter. Plug the Power Cord into a power outlet.
Connecting Ethernet 1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your DHCP server or LAN to any port 1 to 7. 2. Connect your PoE device to port 8. WARNING: Before enabling PoE passthrough in the UniFi Controller, ensure that the connected PoE device supports the PoE power (48V). WARNING: When both PoE In and DC Input are connected, the highest voltage power of the two will immediately pass through to PoE Out.
