Keep all ports and connectors free of dust.
•
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables can build up Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) charges when
being pulled into a new installation. Before installing category 5 UTP cables, discharge ESD from
the cable by plugging it into a port on a system that is not powered on.

When required for safety and fire rating requirements, plenum-rated cable can be used. Check the
local building codes to determine when it is appropriate to use plenum-rated cable, or refer to IEC
standard 850.

Power Requirements
Power Supply
•
The switch power supplies have a maximum power consumption requirement of 350W. Also ensure
that the site meets all power supply requirements.

Install a power conditioner if necessary.
•
Be sure the site is properly grounded to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Consider the following when selecting Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) equipment:
•
The minimum amperage requirements for a UPS:
–
Calculate VA (Volt-Amps): Locate the voltage and amperage requirements for each piece of
equipment (usually located on a sticker on the back or bottom of the equipment). Multiply the
numbers together to get VA.
equipment (usually located on a sticker on the back or bottom of the equipment). Multiply the
numbers together to get VA.
–
Add the VA from each piece of equipment together to find the total VA requirement. Then add
30% to determine the minimum amperage requirements for the UPS.
