LevelOne GSW-1290 Gigabit Layer2 SNMP Switch
Installing the Switch without the Rack
The Switch is supplied with rubber feet for stationing it on a flat surface and mounting brackets and screws
for mounting the Switch in a rack.
Install the Switch on a level surface that can safely support the weight of the Switch and its attached cables.
The Switch must have adequate space for ventilation and for accessing cable connectors.
Set the Switch on a flat surface and check for proper ventilation. Allow at least 5 cm (2 inches) on each
side of the Switch and 15 cm (6 inches) at the back for the power cable.
Attach the rubber feet on the marked locations on the bottom of the chassis.
The rubber feet, although optional, are recommended to keep the unit from slipping.

Installing the Switch in a Rack
You can install the Switch in most standard 19-inch (48.3-cm) racks. Refer to the illustrations below.
Use the supplied screws to attach a mounting bracket to each side of the Switch.
Align the holes in the mounting bracket with the holes in the rack.
Insert and tighten two screws through each of the mounting brackets.
