18 Installation VH-2402S
• Environmental
Install the VH-2402S switch in a dry area, with adequate air
circulation. Avoid placing the switch in direct sunlight or near other
heat sources, such as hot-air vents. For temperature and humidity
specifications, see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.”
• Ventilation
Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the side
of the switch.
Mounting the Switch or Stack on a Table or Shelf
You can mount a standalone switch (or a stack of up to seven switches)
on a table or shelf. Locate the switch (stack) in a position that allows
access to the front panel RJ-45 ports, visibility of the port LEDs, and
access to the rear-panel modules and power cord. Make sure that the
mounting surface can safely support the switch (stack) and that there is
adequate space around the switch (stack) for ventilation and cooling.
1. The switch ships with four (4) rubber feet. Stick the self-adhesive
rubber foot pads on each of the four concave spaces located on the
bottom of the switch. The rubber foot pads cushion the switch against
shock/vibrations and provide space between each switch for
ventilation.
2. If you want to stack switches, repeat step 1 for each switch to be
stacked. Place the first switch on a firm flat surface where you want
to install the stack. Stack the other switches on top of this unit.
3. Refer to “Connecting Switches to the Stack’s Backplane” on page 20.
