PowerConnect MPS600 or MPS1000
Installing PowerConnect MPS600 or MPS1000 on a Flat Surface
You can install the PowerConnect MPS600 or MPS1000 on any appropriate
level surface that can safely support the weight of the switch,
the PowerConnect MPS600 or MPS1000, and their attached cables.
There must be adequate space around the PowerConnect MPS600 or
MPS1000 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 PowerConnect MPS600 or MPS1000 on the 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.
