Installation Guidelines

1. 1
   De-energize Equipment: Before installation, completely de-energize the control cabinet and verify the absence of voltage. Follow all site-specific LOTO procedures.
2. 2
   Rack Mounting: Securely mount the switch chassis into a standard 19-inch industrial rack using all four mounting points to ensure stability and proper grounding.
3. 3
   Connect Power: Connect the 230 V AC power supply to the designated terminals. Ensure wiring is correctly sized and connections are torqued to specification.
4. 4
   Install Media Modules: Insert the required electrical or optical 2-port media modules into the empty slots. Ensure each module is fully seated and secured.
5. 5
   Connect Network Cables: Connect network cabling to the installed media modules. Maintain proper bend radius and secure cables to prevent strain on the connectors.
6. 6
   System Verification: Once all connections are made, remove LOTO devices and re-energize the cabinet. Verify power and status LEDs on the switch front panel for normal operation.
