Before installing the switch:
1. Unpack the switch.
2. Choose a location near the devices to be connected and close to an
electrical outlet.

Installing the BayStack 70 Series 10/100 Ethernet Switch on a Flat
Surface
The BayStack 70 Series 10/100 Ethernet Switch can be mounted onto any
appropriate flat, level surface that can safely support the weight of a switch and its
attached cables, as long as there is adequate space around the unit for ventilation
and access to cable connectors.
To install the switch on a desktop or any other flat surface:
1. Install the self-adhesive rubber pads on the bottom of the switch.
Peel off the protective backing from the rubber pads and apply one at each
marked location on the bottom of the switch.
2. Set the switch on a desktop or any other flat surface.
For proper ventilation, make sure that the switch has at least 2 inches (5.1 cm)
of space on each side and 5 inches (12.7 cm) of space at the back.
Caution: When the BayStack 70 Series 10/100 Ethernet Switch is installed in
a stack on a shelf or tabletop, the accumulated weight of the port cables
increases with the height of the shelf or tabletop.
Caution: Restricted airflow could cause overheating of the components. Be
sure to provide adequate ventilation space on the sides and rear of the switch.
