INSTALLING THE SWITCH<br />

<strong>TigerSwitch</strong> <strong>10</strong>/<strong>10</strong>0/<strong>10</strong>00 units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch<br />

equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the guidelines below<br />

when choosing a location.<br />

◆ The site should:<br />

• be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a<br />

power outlet.<br />

• be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 50 °C (32 to<br />

122 °F) and its humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing<br />

• provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for<br />

proper air flow<br />

• be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices<br />

• allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible<br />

◆ Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines,<br />

fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical<br />

interference, such as radios and transmitters.<br />

◆ Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that provides <strong>10</strong>0 to<br />

240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, is within 2.44 m (8 feet) of each device and is<br />

powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment,<br />

using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.<br />
