Mounting the Switch

There are two ways to physically set up the switch.

rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch.
 Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).
II-1-1 Placement Tips
 Ambient Temperature — To prevent the switch from overheating, do not operate it
in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 122°F (50°C).
 Air Flow — Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the switch.
 Mechanical Loading — Be sure that the switch is level and stable to avoid any
hazardous conditions.
 Circuit Overloading — Adding the switch to the power outlet must not overload that
circuit.
Follow these guidelines to install the switch securely.
 Put the switch in a stable place such as a desktop, to avoid it falling.
 Ensure the switch works in the proper AC input range and matches the voltage
labeled.
 Ensure there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the
switch.
 Ensure the switch's location can support the weight of the switch and its accessories.
