Table or Desktop Switch Installation

Here are the guidelines to selecting a suitable site for table or desktop use:
The table should be level and stable and the power outlets should

be located near the switches and be easily accessible.
The site should allow for easy access to the ports on the front of

the switches, so that you can easily connect and disconnect
cables, and view the port LEDs.
The site should allow for adequate air flow around the units and

through the cooling vents on the front and rear panels (the
ventilation direction is from front to back, with the fan on the back
panel drawing the air out of the unit).
The site should not expose the switches to moisture or water and

the site should be a dust-free environment.
The site should include dedicated power circuits or power

conditioners to supply reliable electrical power to the network
devices.
The rubber feet on the base of the switches should be left on for

table or desktop installation.
If your switch does not already have rubber feet installed, fit them as
follows:
1. Place the switch on a level, secure surface.
2. Turn the switch over.
3. Screw the rubber feet firmly onto the base of the switch, as shown in
Figure 10:

4. Turn the switch over again and place it on a flat, secure surface (such
as a desk or table) leaving ample space around the unit for ventilation.
5. Go to "Switch Cable Installation" on page 45.
