Determining the Switch Location

The Summit 200 series switch is suited for use in the office, where it can be free-standing or mounted in
a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternately, the device can be rack-mounted in a wiring closet or
equipment room. Two mounting brackets are supplied with the switch.
When deciding where to install the switch, ensure that:
• The switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Air-flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. You should
provide a minimum of 1 inch (25 mm) clearance.
• No objects are placed on top of the unit.
• Units are not stacked more than four high if the switch is free-standing.
