Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

Leave at least 10cm of space to the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation.

Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.

When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber pads (feet) to the bottom. The rubber feet cushion the switch and helps protect the case from scratches.

Rack Mounting

The Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack or chassis, which can be located in a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets to the Switch’s side panels (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.
