Note:
The mounting brackets are used for fixing rather than weight bearing. In a 19-inch
standard rack, the weight of the switch is supported by the shelf beneath it.

z
Make sure that the tabletop or workbench is clean, flat, and sturdy.

3.2 Connecting the Power Cord and the Ground Wire
3.2.1 Connecting the AC-Input Power Cord
I. AC-input power socket (recommended)
You are recommended to use a monophase three-line power socket with a ground
contact or a general purpose PC power socket, making sure that the power point is well
connected to building ground. Normally, the ground point of the power source in a
building was buried in the ground during the construction and wiring. Still, you must
make sure of that.
