DWS-1008 Install Guide
Installation Overview
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

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.
