3.1.2 Mounting the Switch on a Workbench When a 19-inch standard cabinet is not available, you can simply
place the switch on a clean workbench. When doing so, you should
ensure:
z The workbench is stable and well grounded.
z A clearance of about 10 cm is reserved around the switch for
heat dissipation.
z No heavy object is placed on the switch.
z The S3100-SI series are designed with no fan. Therefore,
you should install them in a drafty environment, and keep at
least 1.5 cm vertical distances between the neighboring
devices if you need to stack the switches one upon another.
3.1.3 Wall-Mount You can hang the S3100-8T-SI and S3100-8C-SI Ethernet
Switches against walls.
The wall can be made of cement, wood, or drywall.
Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3 shows the recommended sizes (in mm)
