8-port Ultra60 PoE++ Multi-Gigabit (2.5G) Ethernet Plus Switch MS108EUP The screws and anchors are in the switch package. 4. Insert the anchors into the wall and tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver. Leave about ¼ inch (6 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom of the switch.
8-port Ultra60 PoE++ Multi-Gigabit (2.5G) Ethernet Plus Switch MS108EUP Wall-mount the switch vertically The bottom panel of the switch provides two VESA mount holes at an exact distance of 3.94 in. (100 mm), center-to-center, so that you can mount the switch vertically to a wall.
8-port Ultra60 PoE++ Multi-Gigabit (2.5G) Ethernet Plus Switch MS108EUP Step 5: Connect devices to the switch This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch and the outdoor device.
8-port Ultra60 PoE++ Multi-Gigabit (2.5G) Ethernet Plus Switch MS108EUP Step 7: Apply power and check the LEDs The switch does not provide an on/off power switch. The power cable connection controls the power. Before connecting the power cable, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch.
