Before you install your switch, be sure your operating environment meets the operating environment 
requirements in Table 3-1.  

Table 3-1. Site Requirements

Characteristics  

Requirements 

 

Desktop installations:

 

Rack-mount 
installations:

 

Provide a flat table or shelf surface. 
Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is grounded 
and physically secure. You also need the rack-mount kit supplied with your 
switch.

 

Locate the switch in a position that lets you access the front panel RJ-45 ports, 
view the front panel LEDs, and access the rear-panel power connector. 

Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location. 
Power specifications for the switch is shown in Appendix C. Be sure the AC 
outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power 
to the outlet and the switch. 

 

Temperature: 

Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0 and 40ºC 
(32 and 104ºF). 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 there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where you intend 
to install the switch. 

Operating conditions: 

Keep the switch at least 6 ft (1.83 m) away from nearest source of 
electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.
