NetStructure™ 480T Routing Switch User Guide
Determining the Switch Location
The 480T routing switch can be free standing or mounted in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack. Mounting brackets are supplied
with the switch.
When deciding where to install the switch, ensure that:
• The switch is accessible and you can connect cables easily.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Air flow around the unit and through the side vents is not
restricted.
• The switch has a minimum of 25 mm (1-inch) clearance.
• Units are not stacked more than four high if the switch is free-
standing.
Installing the Switch
You can mount the switch in a rack or place it free-standing on a
tabletop.
Caution: Do not
suspend the switch
from under a table or
desk, or attach it to a
wall.

1 Place the switch upright on a hard flat surface, with the front
facing you.
2 Remove the screws (4 each side) from the sides of the chassis
and retain for Step 4.

of the unit.
