WARNING: To reduce the risk of equipment damage, make sure the WX
switch is installed so that the mechanical load on the device is evenly
distributed. For example, make sure the switch is level in the equipment
rack, is evenly fastened by screws on either side, and does not have a
heavy object resting on one side of the switch.
You can mount a WX switch in a standard 48.26-cm (19-inch) equipment
rack or on a tabletop. Each WX switch is shipped with two brackets for
rack mounting and four adhesive rubber feet for tabletop mounting. The
WX4400 mounting brackets support either front or center mounting. The
WX1200 mounting brackets support front mounting only.
To install a WX switch, use one of the following procedures.
WARNING: Earth grounding is required for a WX switch installed in a
rack. If you are relying on the rack to provide ground, the rack itself must
be grounded with a ground strap to the earth ground. Metal screws
attaching the switch to the rack provide ground attachment to the rack.
WARNING: In the U.S., overcurrent protection must be provided by the
installation. Branch circuit protection in accordance with National Fire
