Stacking the Switch and Other Units

If the units are free standing, up to four units can
be placed on top of one another. If mixing a variety
of SuperStack II Switch and Hub units, the smaller
units must be positioned at the top.
The Switch is supplied with four self-adhesive rubber
pads. Apply the pads to the underside of the unit,
stick one in the marked area at each corner of the
unit. Place the units on top of each other, ensuring
that the pads of the upper unit line up with the
recesses of the lower unit.
