• At least 2 inches (5.1 cm) (or one vertical rack width) on all sides of the switch unit for
ventilation.
• Adequate space at the front and rear of the switch for access to cables.
If you are installing a single Ethernet Routing Switch on a table or shelf, ensure the surface can
support at least 7 to 13 pounds (3 to 6 kilograms).
Installation preparation
To prevent damage, handle the switch carefully by using the following guidelines:
• To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, always wear an antistatic wrist strap
connected to an ESD jack.
• Always place the switch on appropriate antistatic material.
• Support the switch from underneath with two hands. Do not touch components or connector
pins with your hand, or damage can result.
• Do not over tighten screws. Tighten until snug. Do not use a power tool to tighten screws.

• Appropriate rack space to accommodate 1U switch height.
• Rack bolted to floor and braced if necessary.
