Positioning the Switch
The Switch is suitable for use in an office environment
where it can be free-standing or mounted in a stan-
dard 19-inch equipment rack.
Alternatively, the Switch can be rack-mounted in a
wiring closet or equipment room. A mounting kit,
containing two mounting brackets and four screws, is
supplied with the Switch.
When deciding where to position the Switch, ensure
that:
It is accessible and cables can be connected easily.

Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise.
■
These include lift shafts, microwave ovens, and air

interfere with the signals on copper cabling and

Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the
■
unit.
Air flow around the unit and through the vents in

the side of the case is not restricted (3Com recom-
