Desktop Installation
Ether-FSH2400N Fast Ethernet Switch has four rubber pads attached on each corner of its
underside. These pads serve as cushionings against vibration and prevent the switch from sliding off
its position. They also allow adequate ventilation space when you place the switch on top of another
device.
