- Ambjent: Maintain an ambient temperature between 0°C and 45°C (32°F and 113°F) and relative humidity between 10% and 85% (non-condensing).
- Qawwa: A dedicated power outlet with proper grounding is recommended.
- Ventilazzjoni: Ensure at least 5 cm (2 inches) of clearance at the front and rear for airflow.
5.2 Immuntar fuq Rack
The EX4200-24P is designed for installation in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
- Attach the provided rack-mount brackets to the sides of the switch using the supplied screws.
- Align the switch with the rack posts and secure it using appropriate rack screws.
5.3 Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija
- Connect one end of the power cord to the AC power connector on the rear panel of the switch.
- Qabbad it-tarf l-ieħor tal-korda tal-enerġija ma' sokit elettriku ertjat.
- The switch will power on automatically. Observe the system status LEDs for initial boot-up.
5.4 Konnessjonijiet tan-Netwerk
- Connect Ethernet cables from your network devices (computers, IP phones, wireless access points) to the RJ-45 ports on the front panel.
- For uplink connections to other switches or routers, insert appropriate SFP/SFP+ transceivers into the uplink module slot and connect fiber or copper cables as required.
- For initial configuration, connect a console cable from your management workstation to the console port on the rear panel.
6. Tħaddim tas-Swiċċ
6.1 Ixgħel u l-Ibbutjar Inizjali
