Desktop-Mounting (Optional)

If you are installing the ME 6524 chassis as a free-standing unit instead of rack-mounting the chassis, you need to install the four rubber feet that shipped with the chassis. To install the four rubber feet, follow these steps:

Step 1 Place the switch chassis upside down on a flat surface.

Step 2 Attach the four adhesive-backed rubber pads (included in the accessory kit) to the recessed areas on the bottom of the switch chassis. (See Figure 6.)

Step 3 Place the switch chassis right-side up and position the chassis as close as possible to where the DC source and the system ground are located.
