Mounting the Switch

Placing the Switch on a Flat Surface

When installing the switch on a flat surface, the installation of the rubber feet is recommended to
prevent the switch from sliding. Also, the surface must be able to support 15.5 kg (35 lbs) of static
weight.
To install the rubber feet, proceed as follows:
1. Place the switch upside down on a sturdy flat surface.
2. Remove the four rubber feet from the shipping box.
3. Remove the protective strip from the back of one rubber foot and position it on one of the
corners on the bottom of the switch. Press firmly into place. Repeat this procedure to install
the remaining rubber feet in the other corners.
4. After installing the rubber feet, return the switch to its upright position.
5. Place the switch in its final location.

Installing the Switch into a Rack

The G‐Series Ethernet switch can be mounted in a standard EIA‐310‐D compliant 48.26‐centimeter
(19‐inch) equipment rack. To mount the switch into a rack, you must first install the rack‐mount
kit, which consists of two brackets. You must provide the mounting hardware to attach the switch
brackets to the rails.
To install the rack‐mount kit and then install the switch into the rack:
1. Place the switch on a sturdy flat surface.
2. Install one of the brackets provided in the rack‐mount kit to the side of the switch using the
screws provided as shown in Figure
3. Repeat the previous steps to install the other bracket to the other side.
