Installing the 16- and 24-port switches without a rack

When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, you should attach the rubber feet included with the switch on the bottom, at each corner of the device. Allow enough ventilation space between the switch and any other objects in the vicinity.

Warning Do not place any device on top of the switch or place the switch on top of any device or object that will block the free flow of air through the ventilation slots on the sides, top, and bottom of the switch’s case. In addition, care should be taken not to locate the switch next to, on top of, or underneath any device that generates a significant amount of heat. For the switch to perform at its optimal level, the switch must have adequate ventilation to prevent the switch from overheating and becoming damaged.
