Hardware Installation and Connection

This chapter shows you how to install and connect the Switch.

2.1 Freestanding Installation

Make sure the Switch is clean and dry.
1
Set the Switch on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the Switch and
2
the connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.
Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation and the attachment
3
of cables and the power cord.
Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
4
Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These rubber feet help protect
5
the Switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.
Figure 4 Attaching Rubber Feet
Note: Do NOT block the ventilation holes. Leave space between devices when stacking.
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 Switch. This is especially important for
enclosed rack installations.
