Installing the Switch on a Table or Shelf
Though it is recommended that you install the 8265 switch in a rack, you can also install the switch on a
table or shelf.
CAUTION:
Do not use the Cable Management Tray when installing the switch on a table top or shelf.
If you choose to install the rubber feet, be advised that the switch could tip over under certain
conditions. Hardware damage or personal injury may result.
Safety regulations state that the selected table or shelf must be able to support at least three times
the weight of a fully loaded switch.
To install the 8265 switch on a table or shelf:
1. If you wish to install the rubber feet to the switch, lay the switch on its side on the table or shelf so the
bottom of the switch is accessible.
2. Optionally, remove the rubber feet (4) and the screws supplied (4) from the plastic bag in which they
were shipped and fasten the rubber feet to the bottom of the switch with the screws.
Figure 6 shows how to attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the switch.

3. Reposition the switch on the table or shelf so it rests squarely on the table or shelf. Ensure module
and power supply slots are unobstructed and easy to reach.
