Step 2 – Switch Installation
For safe switch installation and operation, it is
recommended that you:
•
Visually inspect the power cord to see that it is secured
fully to the AC power connector.
•
Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and
adequate ventilation around the switch.
•
Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, the
rubber feet included with the device must be attached on
the bottom at each corner of the device’s base. Allow
enough ventilation space between the device and the
objects around it.
Rack Installation
The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size
19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with
other equipment.
1. To install, attach the mounting brackets to the switch’s
side panels (one on each side) and secure them with the
screws provided.
2. Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack
to mount the switch in the rack.

on your Switch.
Required Tools and Equipment
