EX-3524/EX-3548 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Switch 3 Hardware Installation The switch is designed to be installed in either a standard 19-inch equipment rack or simply placed on a suitable desktop or shelf surface. If you will mount your switch in a rack then plan your rack installation and install the switch chassis in the rack. Be sure to take into account switch cooling requirements.
Installation Guide 2. Use the supplied rack mounting screws to secure the switch in the rack.
EX-3524/EX-3548 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Switch 3. Connect an external AC power source to the AC power socket. 4. Verify basic switch operation by observing the system LEDs. For normal operation, both the DIAG and PWR LEDs should be solid green.
Installation Guide 17 5. Install the SFP transceivers and connect the cables to the port interfaces. • For RJ-45 ports, use 100-ohm category 3 or better Ethernet cable for 10BASE-T connections, use 100-ohm category 5 or better Ethernet cable for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T connections. • Install SFP transceivers and then connect fiber optic cabling to the transceiver ports. • Status LEDs should be clearly visible.
EX-3524/EX-3548 Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Switch 3.2 Shelf or Desktop Installation The switch can be installed on any flat surface such as a desktop or shelf. To mount the switch on a flat surface: 1. Attach the four adhesive feet to the bottom of the switch. 2. Set the device on a flat surface near an AC power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper airflow. 3. If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each switch.
Installation Guide 19 The rear panel of the switch chassis includes a single hole grounding terminal. It must be connected to ground to ensure proper operation and to meet electromagnetic interference (EMI) and safety requirements. To ground the switch chassis: 1. Ensure the rack on which the switch is to be mounted is properly grounded and in compliance with ETSI ETS 300 253. 2. Ensure there is a good electrical connection to the grounding point on the rack (no paint or isolating surface treatment). 3.
