If the system chassis is going to be set on a desk or a shelf, you should install the rubber foot pads that

are included in the accessory kit. To install the rubber feet, follow these steps:

Step 1 Place the switch upside down on a flat surface.
Step 2 Remove the adhesive foot pads from their backing, and place one in each corner on the botto m of the

chassis. (See Figure 3-3.)

Step 3 Place the switch right-side up, and position it on the desk or shelf close to where the DC source and the

system ground are located.
