Unpacking and Setup
Setup
The site where you install the DES-1008D Switch may greatly
affect its performance. Please follow these guidelines for setting up
the switch.
♦
Install the switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support
at least 2 kg of weight. Do not place heavy objects on the
switch.
♦
The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the
switch.
♦
Visually inspect the power adapter cord and see that it is
fully secured to the DC power port.
♦
Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and
adequate ventilation around the switch. Leave at least 10 cm
of space at the front and rear of the switch for ventilation.
♦
Install the switch in a fairly cool and dry place. See
Appendix A, Technical Specifications, for the acceptable
temperature and humidity operating ranges.
♦
Install the switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic
field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct
exposure to sunlight.
♦
When installing the switch on a level surface, attach the
rubber feet to the bottom of the device. The rubber feet
cushion the switch, protect the casing from scratches and
prevent it from scratching other surfaces.
