16-Port or 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch
Placement Options
There are three ways to physically install the Switch: set the Switch on its four rubber feet, mount the Switch in a
standard-sized, 1U high rack, or hang the Switch on a wall using its wall-mount slots.
To rack mount the Switch, follow these instructions:
1. The Switch has four mounting holes on each side. Screw an included mounting bracket into each side.
2. Place the Switch in the rack, and secure the brackets with additional screws.
To hang the Switch on a wall, follow these instructions:
1. The wall-mount slots are two crisscross slots on the Switch’s bottom panel (see Figure 3-3). The distance
between the two slots is 95 mm. Attach two screws to the wall, so that the Switch’s wall-mount slots line up
with the two screws.
2. Maneuver the Switch so the screws are inserted into the two slots.
Congratulations!The installation of the Switch is complete.
