it is placed on. To attach the rubber pads, simply
remove the rubber pads from the adhesive strip and
stick one pad on each corner on the bottom panel
of the switch.

The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size
19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet
with other equipment.
1. Attach the L-shaped mounting brackets to the
sides of the switch and secure them with screws
provided.
2. Mount the switch in the rack using a screwdriver
and the supplied rack-mounting screws
