Installing on a Flat Surface

The switch can be installed on any appropriate level surface that can safely
support the weight of the hubs and their attached cables. There must be
adequate space around the switch for ventilation and access cable
connectors.
To install the switch on a flat surface, complete the following steps:
Set the switch on the flat surface and check for proper ventilation.
1
Allow at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) on each side for proper ventilation and
5 inches (12.7 cm) at the back for power cord clearance.
Attach rubber feet on each marked location on the bottom of the
2
chassis.
The rubber feet are optional but recommended to keep the unit from
slipping.

Installing in a Rack

The switch can be installed in most standard 19-inch racks.
To install the switch in a rack, complete the following steps:
Use the supplied screws to attach a mounting bracket to each side of
1
the switch.
Position the switch in the rack and align the holes in the mounting
2
bracket with the holes in the rack.
Insert and tighten two screws appropriate for your rack through each of
3
the mounting brackets.
