NOTE: For racks that are not pre-threaded, cage nuts are provided.

Installing on a Flat Surface

The switch can be installed on any appropriate level surface that can safely support the weight of the hubs and their attached cables. There must be adequate space around the switch for ventilation and access cable connectors.

To install the switch on a flat surface, complete the following steps:

1Set the switch on the flat surface and check for proper ventilation.

Allow at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) on each side for proper ventilation and 5 inches (12.7 cm) at the back for power cord clearance.

2Attach rubber feet on each marked location on the bottom of the chassis.

The rubber feet are optional but recommended to keep the unit from slipping.

Installing in a Rack

The switch can be installed in most standard 19-inch racks.

To install the switch in a rack, complete the following steps:

1Use the supplied screws to attach a mounting bracket to each side of the switch.

2Position the switch in the rack and align the holes in the mounting bracket with the holes in the rack.

3Insert and tighten two screws appropriate for your rack through each of the mounting brackets.
