Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection

2Align the holes on the back of the Switch with the screws on the wall. Hang the Switch on the screws.

The Switch should be wall-mounted horizontally. The Switch's side panels with ventilation slots should not be facing up or down as this position is less safe.

2.2.2 Rack Mounting

The Switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your Switch on a standard EIA rack using a rack- mounting kit.

Rack-mounted Installation Requirements

Two mounting brackets.

Eight M3 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.

Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.

Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.

Precautions

Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains.

Make sure the position of the Switch does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.

Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch

1Position a mounting bracket on one side of the Switch, lining up the four screw holes on the bracket with the screw holes on the side of the Switch.
