How to install Luxul AV Series 16-Port Gigabit Rackmount Switch

• Power down all devices in the rack before beginning the installation to protect hardware and ensure a safe setup.
• Mount the AGS-1016 in a standard 19" equipment rack, occupying 1U of vertical space. Use the provided rack ears and hardware as directed in the installation manual to secure the switch firmly.
• Route the 16 Gigabit Ethernet cables from the front or rear of the equipment rack to the switch’s ports. If possible, use the rear panel ports for connections to other rack-mounted devices to maintain a clean front-facing appearance.
• Connect the included US power cord to the switch and plug it into a suitable power source. Ensure that the power outlet provides stable voltage suitable for a network device of this type; avoid daisy-chaining through surge protectors that could impact performance.
• Power on the switch and monitor the front LEDs to verify that all ports are operational and that link/activity indicators are displaying as expected. If the LED colors are configurable, select blue or green based on your preferred visibility in your installation environment.
• Connect additional devices one by one, confirming each link state as devices come online. If you are integrating into a Luxul management ecosystem, follow the vendor’s setup instructions to ensure devices are recognized and configured according to your network design (VLANs, QoS, or other settings as applicable).
