 S3300 Smart Switch
Step 1: Prepare the Site
Before you install the smart switch, ensure that the operating environment meets the site 
requirements that are listed in the following table.
Table 5.  Site requirements
Characteristics
Requirements
Mounting
• 
Desktop installations. Provide a flat table or shelf surface.
• 
Rack-mount installations. Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment 
rack that is grounded and physically secure. You also need the rack-mount kit that is 
supplied with the smart switch.
Access
Locate the smart switch in a position that allows you to access the front panel RJ-45 ports, 
view the front panel LEDs, and access the power connector on the back panel.
Power source
Use the AC power cord that is supplied with the smart switch. For information about power 
specifications, see 
Ensure that the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off 
power to the outlet and the smart switch.
Environmental
• 
Temperature. Install the smart switch in a dry area with an ambient temperature 
between 0ºC and 50ºC (32ºF and 122ºF). Keep the smart switch away from heat sources 
such as direct sunlight, warm-air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
• 
Operating humidity. The maximum relative humidity of the installation location must not 
exceed 90%, noncondensing.
• 
Ventilation. Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of the 
smart switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. The 
room or wiring closet in which you install the smart switch must provide adequate airflow.
• 
Operating conditions. Keep the smart switch at least 6 feet (1.83 meters) away from 
the nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.
Step 2: Install the Switch
You can install the smart switch on a flat surface or mount it in a standard network equipment 
rack.
Install the Switch on a Flat Surface
The smart switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. 
To install the smart switch on a flat surface:
Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the smart 
switch. 
The rubber footpads cushion the smart switch against shock and vibrations. They also 
provide ventilation space between stacked switches.
