Note:
No guide rails are delivered with the device.
Ensure a clearance of 1U (44.45 mm, namely, 1.75 inches) between devices for the
purpose of heat dissipation.

3.1.2 Desk Mounting

When a 19-inch standard cabinet is not available, you can simply place the switch on a
clean desk. When doing so, you should ensure that:
The desk is stable and well grounded.
A clearance about 10 cm (3.9 in) is reserved around the switch for heat
dissipation.
No heavy object is placed on the switch.
S3100 Series Ethernet Switches are designed with no fan. Therefore, you should
install them in a drafty environment, and keep at least a vertical distance of 1.5 cm
(0.6 in) between devices if you need to stack switches one upon another.

3.1.3 Wall Mounting

You can mount some models of S3100 Series Ethernet Switches on concrete walls or
wood walls. Table 3-3 lists the models that support wall mounting.
