5.0 Installation
The USB ServerSwitch unit is designed to occupy 1 RU (1.75 inches) of rack
space. Sufficient space is required behind the rear panel of the unit to allow for
attached cables bend radius (6 inches should be sufficient). It is helpful to plan
ahead if additional units might be added to the configuration at some later date. If
cascading (adding USB ServerSwitches) is to be used, make certain to leave
enough space in the rack for additional units. The USB ServerSwitch installation
can be expanded at any time, without interfering with servers connected to existing
switches.
