2 Mechanical Installation

2.1 Table-top or Shelf Mounting

The Unit can be mounted on a table-top or any suitable horizontal surface. It has four rubber feet to provide stability without scratching finished surfaces.

2.2 Rack Mounting - ML2400

Installation of a MultiLink Ethernet Switch in a 19-inch rack is a simple procedure. When properly installed, the front-mounted LED status indicators should be in plain view and easy to read. Rack-mount installation requires special 19-inch rack-mounted brackets and screws (included with the Unit). These brackets attach to the front sides of the switch, which is then typically fastened into a standard 19" RETMA rack as shown below.
