Installation Requirements

Phillips screwdriver
Standard-sized, 19" wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available
For indoor applications, use Category 5 (or above) UTP cabling approved for indoor use.
For outdoor applications, shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the power supply.
We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti. For more details, visit: ui.com/toughcable

	Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the UniFi Switch itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.

Hardware Installation

	IMPORTANT: Fanless switches must not be stacked. Do not place this UniFi Switch on top of another switch. Do not place anything on top of this UniFi Switch.

Electrical Safety Information

Compliance is required with respect to voltage, frequency, and current requirements indicated on the manufacturer’s label. Connection to a different power source than those specified may result in improper operation, damage to the equipment or pose a fire hazard if the limitations are not followed.
There are no operator serviceable parts inside this equipment. Service should be provided only by a qualified service technician.
This equipment is provided with a detachable power cord which has an integral safety ground wire intended for connection to a grounded safety outlet.
1. Do not substitute the power cord with one that is not the provided approved type. Never use an adapter plug to connect to a 2-wire outlet as this will defeat the continuity of the grounding wire.
2. The equipment requires the use of the ground wire as a part of the safety certification, modification or misuse can provide a shock hazard that can result in serious injury or death.
3. Contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer if there are questions about the installation prior to connecting the equipment.
4. Protective earthing is provided by Listed AC adapter. Building installation shall provide appropriate short-circuit backup protection.
5. Protective bonding must be installed in accordance with local national wiring rules and regulations.
