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.
USP LED
The LED lights up blue when there is an active power connection on the USP DC input.
This DC input provides redundant power when the UniFi Switch is connected to the UniFi SmartPower Redundant Power System, model USP-RPS, via the USP Cable (not included). If there is an AC power loss or internal power supply failure, the UniFi Switch will draw power from the USP-RPS instead.
Power Port
Connect the included Power Cord to the Power port.

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.
