C H A P T E R 2 Installation and Setup
When deciding where to install the switch, ensure that:
• The switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Air-flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the
case is not restricted. You should provide a minimum of 25mm (1-
inch) clearance.
• No objects are placed on top of the unit.
• Units are not stacked more than four high if the switch is free-
standing.
Installing the Switch
The switch can be mounted in a rack, or placed free-standing on a
tabletop.
Rack Mounting
Caution The rack mount kits must not be used to suspend the
switch from under a table or desk, or to attach it to a
wall.
To rack mount the switch:
1 Place the switch the right way up on a hard flat surface, with
the front facing you.
2 Remove the existing screws from the sides of the chassis and
retain for Step 4.
3 Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one
side of the unit.
4 Insert the screws and fully tighten with a screwdriver, as
shown in Figure 3.
