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.

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.  

Figure 2-1 Attaching Rubber Feet 

Do not block the ventilation holes. Leave space between switches when stacking.
