Caution:
To reduce the risk of equipment damage, make sure the switch is installed so that
the mechanical load on the device is evenly distributed. For example, make sure the switch
is level in the equipment rack, is evenly fastened by screws on either side, and does not
have a heavy object resting on one side of the switch.

Equipment racks vary, and the screw and screwdriver type depend on the equipment
rack.
You can mount the DWS-1008 switch in a standard 48.26-cm (19-inch) equipment rack or
on a tabletop. Each switch is shipped with two brackets for rack mounting and four adhesive
rubber feet for tabletop mounting. The mounting brackets support front mounting only.
Warning:
Earth grounding is required for a DWS-1008 switch installed in a rack. If you are
relying on the rack to provide ground, the rack itself must be grounded with a ground strap to
the earth ground. Metal screws attaching the switch to the rack provide ground attachment
to the rack.
In the U.S., overcurrent protection must be provided by the installation. Branch circuit
protection in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, National
Electrical Code (NEC) is required. Consideration must be given to the electrical ratings
on the switch and branch circuit protection. Do not install equipment such that the branch
circuit current and voltage protection is exceeded. Pay particular attention to the earthing
connection for the supply connections. When using an extension cord or power strip, pay
attention to the grounding type.
