Before You Connect to the Network: Mounting Kit Instructions
The switch is supplied with rubber feet for stationing it on a flat surface and
mounting brackets and screws for mounting it in a rack.
Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface
The switch can be installed on any appropriate level surface that can safely
support the weight of the hubs and their attached cables. There must be
adequate space around the switch for ventilation and access to cable
connectors.
To install the switch on a flat surface:
1 Set the switch on the flat surface and check for proper ventilation.
Allow at least 5.1 cm (2 inches) on each side for proper ventilation and
12.7 cm (5 inches) at the back for power cable clearance.
2 Attach rubber feet on each marked location on the bottom of the
chassis.
The rubber feet are optional but are recommended to keep the unit
from slipping.
Installing the Switch in a Rack
The switch can be installed in most standard 48.3-cm (19-inch) racks.
NOTE: For racks that
are not prethreaded, cage
nuts are provided.
To install the switch in a rack:
1 Use the supplied screws to attach a mounting bracket to each side of
the switch.
2 Position the switch in the rack and align the holes in the mounting
bracket with the holes in the rack.
3 Insert and tighten two screws appropriate for your rack through each of
the mounting brackets.
