Installation Requirements
- Phillips screwdriver · Standard Sizes, 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 outdoor networks from the most brutal environments and devastating ESD attacks with industrial grade shielded Ethernet cable, TOUGH able, from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit: www.ubnt.com/toughcable
Hardware Installation
- Connect the Power Cord to the Power port of the UniFi Switch.
- Attach the UniFi Switch to the rack using the four Mounting Screws. (If the rack has square slots, then use the Cage Nuts with the Mounting Screws.)
Note: Keep 20 mm of clearance next to the ventilation holes for adequate airflow. - Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.
Connecting Ethernet
- Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer or host system to any port of UniFi Switch.
- Connect Ethernet cables from the Ethernet ports of your devices to the other numbered ports of the UniFi Switch.
Using SFP+ and SFP Ports
These ports support the specified module types at the following speeds:
| Ports | SFP+ Module Type | SFP Module Type |
| SFP+ 1‑2 | 10 Gbps | 1 Gbps |
| SFP 1‑2 | (Not supported) | 1 Gbps |
To use an SFP+ or SFP port:
- Remove the protective plug covering the SFP port.
- Plug a compatible fiber module into the SFP port.
- Connect a fiber optic cable to the fiber module. Then connect the other end of the cable to another fiber device.
For information about compatible fiber SFP modules, visit: community.ubnt.com/unifi
Software Installation
Download and install the latest version of the UniFi Controller software at downloads.ubnt.com/unifi and follow the onscreen instructions.
You can manage your network and view network statistics using the UniFi Controller management interface. To adopt the UniFi Switch, proceed to the Adopting the UniFi Switch section. For information on configuring and using the UniFi Controller software, refer to the User Guide on the website: documentation.ubnt.com/unifi
Adopting the UniFi Switch

- On the Devices screen, locate the UniFi Switch in the list of devices under the Name/MAC Address column. To adopt the UniFi Switch, click ADOPT.
- The System LED on the UniFi Switch will turn blue to confirm that it has been successfully adopted. To configure PoE settings, proceed to the Configuring PoE Settings section.
Configuring PoE Settings
The PoE settings for ports 1-48 are set to auto sensing PoE+ by default, so 802.3af/at devices can be plugged in and automatically receive PoE.
- On the Devices screen, locate the UniFi Switch in the list of devices under the Name/MAC Address column. Doubleclick its Name/MAC Address to access its settings.
- Click the Ports tab.
- Click Actions for the port you want to configure.
- Select the appropriate mode: Off, 24V Passive, or PoE+ from the PoE setting. Then click Apply.
