Hardware Installation and

Connection

2.1 Installation Scenarios

This chapter shows you how to install and connect the MES-2110.
The MES-2110 can be placed on a desktop or rack-mounted on a standard EIA
rack. Use the rubber feet in a desktop installation and the brackets in a rack-
mounted installation.
Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front
and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the MES-2110. This is especially important
for enclosed rack installations.

2.2 Desktop Installation Procedure

1Make sure the MES-2110 is clean and dry.
2Set the MES-2110 on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight
of the MES-2110 and the connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet
nearby.
3Make sure there is enough clearance around the MES-2110 to allow air circulation
and the attachment of cables and the power cord.
4Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
