Hardware Installation
3.1 Desktop Installation
Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface
where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy. Make sure there
is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of cables, power cord and air
circulation.
Attaching Rubber Feet
1. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and dust free.
2. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.
3. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These footpads
can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.
3.2 Rack-mounted Installation
The Switch comes with a rack-mounted kit and can be mounted in an EIA standard size,
19-inch Rack. It can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment.
Perform the following steps to rack-mount the switch:
A. Position one plate to align with the holes on one side of the hub and secure it with
the smaller plate screws. Then, attach the remaining plate to the other side of the
Switch.
