3.0INSTALLATION
This chapter provides instructions for installing Magnum 500-Series switches.
3.1Locating Magnum 500-Series switches
The location of a Magnum 500-Series switch is dependent on the physical layout of the network. Typically the switch is placed where combinations of 10Mb and 100Mb network devices need to be connected to communicate with each other. The compact size of the unit allows it to be conveniently placed in an office or lab area, and it can also be either shelf of wall-mounted (see instructions in 3.1.2 below). Wall- mounting brackets are included, usable for single units (but not for stacks).
Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum 500 site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 500 will normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can occur from the small fan in the bottom-rear while the unit is in operation. See figure below.

3.1.1Table-Top or Shelf Mounting
The Magnum 500-Series switch can be easily mounted on a table-top or any suitable horizontal surface, and has four rubber feet to provide stability without scratching finished surfaces. When stacked, the rubber feet also provide separation between units for the exhaust of the rear cooling fan.
