There are three ways to physically install the Switch:
•Set the Switch on its four rubber feet
•Mount the Switch in a standard-sized rack (1U high)
•Wall-mount the Switch using the wall-mount slots
Rack Mount Instruction Tips
•Ambient Temperature—To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate the switch in an area that exceeds the recommended ambient temperature.
•Reduced Air Flow—If you install the switch in a rack, be sure that there is adequate air flow as required.
•Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the switch is level and stable when you mount the switch in a rack to avoid any hazardous condition.
•Circuit Overloading—Do not overload the power outlet or circuit when installing multiple devices in a rack.
•Reliable Grounding—Be sure that the switch is grounded and use suitable electrical supply connections.
To rack mount the Switch, follow these instructions:
STEP 1 The Switch has four mounting holes on each side. Screw an included mounting bracket into each side.
STEP 2 Place the Switch in the rack, and secure the brackets with additional screws (not included).
To wall-mount the Switch, follow these instructions:
STEP 1 The wall-mount slots are two crisscross slots on the Switch’s bottom panel. The distance between the two slots is 95 mm (3.74 inches). Attach two screws to the wall, so that the Switch’s wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.
STEP 2 Maneuver the Switch so the screws are inserted into the two slots.
