Installation Requirements

• Phillips screwdriver (for rack- or wall-mounting)
• Standard-sized, 19” wide rack with a minimum of 1U height available (for rack-mounting)
• Use compatible fiber SFP+ modules with the appropriate fiber optic cabling. For information about compatible fiber SFP+ modules, visit: community.ubnt.com/unifi
• For indoor applications, use Category 6A (or above) UTP cabling approved for indoor use.
• For outdoor applications, shielded Category 6A (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.

System Requirements

• Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows 7/8/10
• Java Runtime Environment 1.6 (1.8 or newer recommended)
• Web Browser: Google Chrome (Other browsers may have limited functionality.)
• UniFi Network Application v5.4 or newer, available at: ui.com/download/unifi

Reset Button
This button serves two functions for the UniFi Switch: Restart Press and release the Reset button quickly. Restore to Factory Default Settings Press and hold the Reset button for more than five seconds.

Console Port

Console Port
RJ45 serial console port for Command Line Interface (CLI) management. Use an RJ45-to-DB9, serial console cable, also known as a rollover cable, to connect the Console port to your computer. Then configure the following settings as needed: Baud rate 115200 Data bits 8 Parity NONE Stop bits 1 Flow control NONE
DC Input
The 48/24VDC input can connect a redundant or stand-alone DC power source (not included) with minimum power: 56W, 57 to 20V. Note: You can use the redundant DC power source as a hot spare; if the internal AC/DC power supply no longer provides power, the UniFi Switch will switch to the DC power source without interrupting its operation.
Power Port
Connect the included Power Cord to the Power port.
