Installation 
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the 17-Port Switch.  
 
Selecting a Site for the Switch 
As with any electric device, you should place the switch where it will not be subjected 
to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the 
site you select should meet the following requirements: 
 
The ambient temperature should be between 32 and 113 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 45 
degrees Celsius). 
 
The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non-condensing. 
 
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards 
for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength. 
 
Make sure that the switch receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes 
on each side of the switch or the fan exhaust port on the rear of the switch. 
 
The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the switch. 
 
 
Connecting to Power 
y Connect the supplied AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of the switch, and 
then plug it into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range from 100 to 240 Vac.
