Power Notice
The switch is a power-required device, meaning it will not work until it is powered. Consider using
an UPS (Uninterupted Power Supply) in order to avoid network data loss or network downtime.
Installing a surge suppression device may also help to protect the switch from being damaged by
unregulated surge or current to the switch or the power cord.
