Installing the Switch
Site Survey
Consider the following when choosing a location to install the switch:
Installation Location
• Ensure that there is adequate space to allow you to access the front and rear panel ports for
easy cable management and maintenance.
• Ensure that the site is located within a proper distance to the power source. The power source
must be properly grounded and readily accessible.
• Ensure that the site is free from strong electromagnetic field sources, such as radiators,
motors, and heat sources.
• Ensure that the site is not exposed to direct sunlight, rain or moisture.
Ventilation
• The installation surroundings must have adequate ventilation. Proper clearance between the
switch and the wall or other equipment must be observed.
