D-Link DES-1228P user manual Rack Mounting, Attach the adhesive rubber pads to the bottom

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 (about 4 inches) 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.
