Hardware Description and Installation
This section discusses switch installations, hardware and functional overview.
The switch is suited to an office environment where it can be rack mounted on standard EIA racks or
placed as a standalone switch on a desktop.
For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at
the front, 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the switch. This is especially
important for enclosed rack installations.

Installation
1.
Set the switch upside-down on a study level space with a power outlet nearby.
2.
Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow air circulation and the attachment
of cables and the power cord.
3.
Remove the adhesive backing from the supplied rubber feet.
4.
Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch. These rubber feet help protect the
switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when stacking.
5.
Turn the switch right side up after you attach the rubber feet.
