Cisco Systems 300 quick start Rack-Mount Placement, Wall Mounting

Mechanical Overloading—The device should be level, stable, and secure to prevent it from sliding or shifting out of position.

Circuit Overloading—Adding the device to the power outlet must not overload that circuit.

Rack-Mount Placement

To rack-mount the switch in any standard rack, attach the rack–mount brackets to the sides of the switch with the supplied hardware and secure the brackets tightly.

CAUTION For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to be unstable and may tip over.

Wall Mounting

Only the 8-port models of the switch can be wall-mounted.

NOTE The switch should be mounted so that the ports face up or down. Do not mount the switch with the ports to the side.

There is a wall-mount kit packed with your switch. The dimensions for the mount kit are as follows:
