Installing the 16- and 24-port switches without
a rack
When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, you should attach the rubber
feet included with the switch on the bottom, at each corner of the device. Allow
enough ventilation space between the switch and any other objects in the
vicinity.
Warning Do not place any device on top of the switch or place the
switch on top of any device or object that will block the free
flow of air through the ventilation slots on the sides, top,
and bottom of the switch’s case. In addition, care should
be taken not to locate the switch next to, on top of, or
underneath any device that generates a significant amount
of heat. For the switch to perform at its optimal level, the
switch must have adequate ventilation to prevent the switch
from overheating and becoming damaged.
