The site where you install the 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 3 kg (6.6 lbs.) 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 cord and see that it is fully secured
to the AC power port.
•
Make sure that there is adequate space for proper heat
dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Switch.
Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front and rear of
the Switch for ventilation.
•
Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place 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.
