Hardware Description and Installation
This section shows two switch installations, describes the hardware of the
switch and gives a functional overview of the switch.
The switch is suitable for an office environment where it can be rack mounted on
standard EIA racks or as a standalone.
For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance
at the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the switch. This is
especially important for enclosed rack installations.
2.1 Desktop Installation
Step 1. Make sure the switch is clean and dry.
Step 2. Set the switch on a smooth, leveled and sturdy flat space strong enough to
support the weight of the switch and the connected cables. Make sure there is
a power outlet nearby.
Step 3. Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow air
circulation and the attachment of cables and the power cord.
Step 4. Remove the adhesive backing from the supplied rubber feet.
Step 5. Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch. These
rubber feet help protect the switch from shock or vibration and ensure space
between devices when stacking.
