The switch is supplied with rubber pads for stationing it on a flat surface,
and mounting brackets and screws for mounting it in a rack.

Installing on a Flat Surface

support the weight of the switches and their attached cables. There must be
adequate space around the switch for ventilation and access to cable
connectors.

Set the switch on the flat surface and check for proper ventilation.

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.
