Mounting the Switch

CAUTION:
Read the safety information in the Product Information Guide as well as the safety information for other
switches that connect to or support the switch.
The AC and DC power connectors are on the back panel of the switch. We recommend connecting a redundant
power supply, such as the PowerConnect RPS-600 for non-PoE switches or the PowerConnect EPS-470 for PoE
switches.

Installing in a Rack

CAUTION:
Do not use rack mounting kits to suspend the switch from under a table or desk, or attach it to a wall.
CAUTION:
Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing. Remove all self-adhesive pads from the
underside of the switch, if they have been attached.
CAUTION:
When mounting multiple switches into a rack, mount the switches from the bottom up.
Place the supplied rack-mounting bracket on one side of the switch, ensuring that the mounting holes on
