FIGURE 10 ATTACHING THE ADHESIVE FEET

2.Set the device on a flat surface near a power source, making sure there are at least two inches of space on all sides for proper air flow.

3.If installing a single switch only, go to “Grounding the Chassis” on page 13.

4.If installing multiple switches, attach four adhesive feet to each one. Place each device squarely on top of the one below, in any order.

Rack Mounting

Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors:

•Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. Also be sure to leave adequate space around the ventilation holes in the switch.

•Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.

•Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.

•Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains.
