II. Installation

This chapter describes how to install and connect your Edimax Switch. Read

the following topics and perform the procedures in the correct order.

Incorrect installation may cause damage to the product.

II-1. Mounting the Switch

There are two ways to physically set up the switch.

Place the switch on a flat surface. To place the switch on a desktop, install

the four rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch.

Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).

II-1-1. Placement Tips

Ambient Temperature —To prevent the switch from overheating, do not

operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 122°F

(50°C).

Air Flow —Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the switch.

Mechanical Loading —Be sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid

any hazardous conditions.

Circuit Overloading —Adding the switch to the power outlet must not

overload that circuit.

Follow these guidelines to install the switch securely.

Put the switch in a stable place such as a desktop, to avoid it falling.

Ensure the switch works in the proper AC input range and matches the

voltage labeled.

Ensure there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation

around the switch.

Ensure the switch’s location can support the weight of the switch and its

accessories.

II-1-2. Rack Mounting

You can mount the switch in any standard size, 19-inch (about 48 cm) wide

rack. The switch requires 1 Rack Unit (1U) of space, which is 1.75 inches

(44.45 mm) high.

For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest

devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to be unstable and may tip

over.

When mounting smaller switch products into a standard 19-inch rack, a pair of

extension brackets (sometimes referred to as ears) are needed to adapt the

switch to the rack size.

These extension brackets are mounted on the switch using the screws

provided in the kit, and have two holes that are used to then screw the switch

into the rack.

An example of one type of these extension brackets is shown in the following

figure.

A common problem that occurs during rack mounting is the distance between

the screw holes on the rack. Some racks are made with a uniform distance

between all of the holes, and others have the holes organized into groups (see

photo on the next page for an example).

When organized into groups, the switch must be placed in the rack so that the

holes in the extension brackets line up correctly.

1. Align the mounting brackets with the mounting holes on the switch’s

side panels and secure the brackets with the screws provided.

2. Secure the switch on the equipment rack with the screws provided.

III.Getting Started

This section provides an introduction to the web-based configuration utility,

and

covers the following topics:

Powering on the device

Connecting to the network

Power over Ethernet (PoE) considerations

Starting the web-based configuration utility

III-1. Connecting to Power

Power down and disconnect the power cord before servicing or wiring a

switch.

Do not disconnect modules or cabling unless the power is first switched off.

The device only supports the voltage outlined in the type plate. Do not use

any other power components except those specifically designated for the

switch.

Disconnect the power cord before installation or cable wiring.

The switch is powered by the AC 100-240 V 50/60Hz internal

high-performance power supply. It is recommended to connect the switch

with a single-phase three-wire power source with a neutral outlet, or a

multifunctional computer professional source.

Connect the AC power connector on the back panel of the switch to the

external power source with the included power cord, and check the power

LED is on.
