3.1 Desktop Installation
Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet nearby. The surface
where you put your Switch should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy. Make sure
there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow attachment of cables, power
cord and air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Feet
1. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the Switch is grease and dust free.
2. Remove adhesive backing from your Rubber Feet.
3. Apply the Rubber Feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These
footpads can prevent the Switch from shock/vibration.

3.2 Rack-mounted Installation
The switch come with a rack-mounted kid and can be mounted in an EIA standard size,
19-inch Rack. The Switch can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment.
Perform the following steps to rack mount the switch:
A. Position one bracket to align with the holes on one side of the switch and secure it
with the smaller bracket screws. Then attach the remaining bracket to the other
side of the Switch.
B. After attaching both mounting brackets, position the switch in the rack by lining up
the holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the
Switch to the rack with a screwdriver and the rack-mounting screws.
Note: For proper ventilation, allow about at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance on
the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) on the back of the Switch. This is especially
important for enclosed rack installation.
