Desktop Installation Procedure - ZyXEL Communications GS1900 Series User Manual

WARNING! Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.

an earthing connection or its equivalent.
WARNING! This Switch is not suitable for use in locations where children
are likely to be present.
See Table 1 on page 17

2.3 Desktop Installation Procedure

Make sure the Switch is clean and dry.
1
Set the Switch on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the Switch and the
2
connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby.
Make sure there is at least 40 mm of clearance from the bottom to the Switch, and make sure there is
3
enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation and the attachment of cables and the
power cord. This is especially important for enclosed rack installations.
Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.
4
Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the Switch. These rubber feet help protect the
5
Switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.
Figure 6 Attaching Rubber Feet
Note: Do NOT block the ventilation holes. Leave space between devices when stacking.
Note: For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front and 3.4
inches (8 cm) at the back of the Switch. This is especially important for enclosed rack
installations.
