Wall-Mount Placement
1. On one of the side corners, remove the four front screws on of the Ethernet switch. Retain
the screws for re-installation.
2. Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the Ethernet switch so the four holes
align to the screw holes.
3. Place a rack mount bracket next to the spacer and reinstall the four screws (removed in
step 1). The wall mount brackets should point towards the bottom of the Ethernet switch.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other corners of the Ethernet switch.
5. Attach the Ethernet switch to a wall with appropriate screws (not supplied).
Connecting the Cables
To connect network devices to the Ethernet switch, follow these instructions:
1. For 10/100Mbps devices, connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one of the
numbered ports on the Ethernet switch. For a 1000Mbps device, connect a Category 5e
Ethernet network cable to one of the uplink ports on the Ethernet switch.
2. Connect the other end to a PC or other network device.
NOTE:
The Ethernet switch, shown
below, is mounted with the ports located
on top. When the switch is mounted to a
wall, the ports can be oriented in any
direction.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the Ethernet
switch is securely attached to the wall.
NOTE:
If connecting an Ethernet switch
to an SVR3000 router, connect it to a
Cascade port on the SVR3000.
