Installing PowerConnect RPS720 on a Flat Surface
You can install the PowerConnect RPS720 on any appropriate level surface
that can safely support the weight of the switches, the PowerConnect
RPS720, and their attached cables. There must be adequate space around
the PowerConnect RPS720 for ventilation and to access cable connectors.
CAUTION: Allow at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) on each side for proper ventilation
and 5 inches (12.7 cm) at the back for power cord clearance.
1 Set the RPS720 on a flat surface and check for proper ventilation.
2 Attach rubber feet (optional) on each marked location at the bottom of
the chassis.
NOTE: Although optional, rubber feet are recommended to keep the unit
from slipping.
