Installation

Site Preparation

PowerConnect 7000 Series switches can be mounted in a standard 48.26-cm
(19-inch) rack or left freestanding (placed on a flat surface) and function as
stand-alone switches.
Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen
installation location meets the following site requirements:
• Power — The switch is installed near an easily accessible 100–240 VAC,
50–60 Hz outlet.
• Clearance — There is adequate front and rear clearance for operator
access. Allow clearance for cabling, power connections, and ventilation.
• Cabling — The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise such
as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent
lighting fixtures.
• Ambient Temperature — The ambient switch operating temperature
range is 0 to 45ºC (32 to 113ºF) at a relative humidity of up to 95 percent,
non-condensing.
