Placement Options
Before connecting cables to the Switch, first you will physically install the Switch. Either set the Switch on its four
rubber feet for desktop placement or mount the Switch in a standard-sized, 19-inch wide, 1U high rack for rack-
mount placement.
Desktop Placement
1. Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch.
2. Place the Switch on a desktop near an AC power source.
3. Keep enough ventilation space for the Switch and check the environmental restrictions mentioned in the
specifications.
4. Proceed to the section, “Connecting the Switch.”
Rack-Mount Placement
To mount the Switch in any standard-sized, 19-inch wide, 1U high rack, follow these instructions:
1. Place the Switch on a hard flat surface with the front panel facing you.
2. Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the Switch with the supplied screws. Then attach the other
bracket to the other side.
3. Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the Switch.
4. Use the appropriate screws (not included) to securely attach the brackets to your rack.
Proceed to the section, “Connecting the Switch.”
IMPORTANT: Make sure you use the screws
supplied with the mounting brackets. Using the
wrong screws could damage the Switch and would
invalidate your warranty.
