Horizontal surface mount option
Place the switch on a table or other horizontal surface. The switch comes with rubber feet in the accessory kit that
provide the required thermal transfer space (8.5 mm) under the switch.
Attaching the four rubber feet to the bottom of the switch is required to provide the necessary thermal
transfer space between the switch bottom and the horizontal surface.
Attach the rubber feet to the four corners on the bottom of the switch within the embossed angled lines. Use a
sturdy surface in an uncluttered area. You may want to secure the networking cables and switch power cord to the
table leg or other part of the surface structure to help prevent tripping over the cords.
