Mounting the Switch on a Workbench
In many cases, standard 19-inch racks are not available. Therefore, switches are often placed on clean
workbenches. To place your switch on a workbench, you simply need to:
z Make sure that the workbench is clean, flat, and sturdy.
z Make sure that the environment is well ventilated and allows 10 cm (3.94 in.) of space around the
chassis for heat dissipation.
z Do not place heavy objects on your switch.
z The vertical distance between two switches must be at least 1.5 cm (0.59 in).
