Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the 
following precautions: 

1.) 

If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack 

assembly, the environmental temperature around the equipment 
must be less than or equal to 50

0

C. 

2.) 

If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack 

assembly, adequate air flow must be maintained for proper and 
safe operation. 

3.) 

If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack 

system placement of the equipment must not overload or load 
unevenly the rack system. 

4.) 

If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack 

assembly, verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent 
overloading of the building/s electrical circuits. 

5.)  

If the equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack 

assembly verify that the equipment has a reliable and 
uncompromised earthing path.

Installation:  This section describes installation of the  LE14XXA-Series Switches, as well as 

connection of the various Ethernet media types. 

 

The location of a  LE14XXA-Series Switch is dependent on the physical layout of the 

network. Typically the Switch is placed in a central wiring location where groups of network 

devices need to be connected in order to communicate with each other. These Switches are 

typically rack mounted in a wiring closet see Section 3.3.2 below), but because they have rubber 

feet they can also be installed on a shelf or table top. The compact size of the 8-port LE1401A 

unit allows it to be easily placed in an office or lab area, and it can also be either shelf of wall-

mounted (see Section 3.3.1 below).  

 

Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended LE14XXA-

Series site. The rugged metal case of the LE14XXA-Series will normally protect it from 

accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting.  Maintain an open view of the front to visually 

monitor the status LEDs.  Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can occur from the 

small fan on the left side, while the unit is in operation. See figure below.
