Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Install the unit in a standard 19-inch cabinet. Ensure proper grounding of the rack and the switch chassis to maintain electromagnetic compatibility.
• Powering: Connect the 24V DC power supply to the designated terminals. Verify that the power supply meets the switch's requirements for stable, ripple-free operation.
• Configuration: Utilize the console port or web-based management interface for initial setup and VLAN configuration.
• Environment: Ensure the cabinet is sufficiently ventilated, as managed switches can generate heat during heavy traffic loads.
