Milan mil-sm24004tg Installation Instruction

3-1

Switches can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. 
Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.

•  The site should:

-   be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet. 

-   be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 40 °C (32 to 122 °F) and its 

humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing

-   provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air 

flow 

-   be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices 

-   allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible

•  Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent 

lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and 
transmitters.

• Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 

50 to 60 Hz, is within 2.44 m (8 feet) of each device and is powered from an 
independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge 
suppressor is recommended. 

To ensure proper operation when installing either switch into a network, make sure 
that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T 
operation. Check the following criteria against the current installation of your 
network:

•  Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables 

with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T, Category 5 or better 
for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5, 5e or 6 for 1000BASE-T.

•  Protection from radio frequency interference emissions
•  Electrical surge suppression
•  Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields 

from data based network wiring

•  Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors or shields
