Step 4: Install the Switch

You can install the switch in a standard 19-inch (48.26-centimeter) network equipment rack or on a flat
surface.

Install the Switch on a Flat Surface

The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads.
To install the switch on a flat surface:
Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch.
The rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock and vibrations. They also provide ventilation
space between stacked switches.

Install the Switch in a Rack

To install the switch in a rack, you need the 19-inch rack-mount kit supplied with the switch.
To install the switch in a rack:
1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch.
2. Insert the screws provided in the product package through each bracket and into the bracket mounting
holes in the switch.
3. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.
4. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert two pan-head screws with
nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack.
5. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure mounting brackets to the rack.
