Desktop Placement

Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the
•
bottom of the Switch.
Place the Switch on a desktop near an AC power source.
•
Keep enough ventilation space for the switch and

Rack-Mount Placement

When rack-mounting the Switch, please observe the
following guidelines
Elevated Operating Ambient
•
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment
•
in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in
•
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given
•
to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
•
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of
power strips).

3. Follow the same steps to attach the other bracket to
the opposite side.
4. After the brackets are attached to the Switch, use
suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to any
standard 19-inch rack.
Mounting in Rack
5. Connect the Switch to network devices according to
