Hardware Installation and

Connection

This chapter shows you how to install the VSG and make hardware connections.

2.1  Installation Options 

The following sections describe the different installation options.

Note: 

Do NOT block the ventilation holes and leave adequate space on the rear and 
sides of the VSG during hardware installation or when stacking.

2.1.1  Desktop Installation 

1

Make sure the VSG is clean and dry. Set the VSG on a smooth space strong enough to 
support the weight of the VSG and the connected cables. Make sure there is a power 
outlet nearby.

2

Make sure there is enough clearance around the VSG to allow air circulation and the 
attachment of cables and the power cord.

3

Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the VSG. These rubber feet help 
protect the VSG from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when 
stacking.

2.1.2  Rack Mount Installation

The VSG can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with 
other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your VSG on a standard EIA rack using the 
included rack-mounting kit.

1

Align one bracket with the holes on one side of the VSG and secure it with the bracket 
screws (smaller than the rack-mounting screws. Similarly, attach the other bracket.
