Installing a Switch
To install a switch on a desktop, on another flat surface, or in a rack:
1. Unpack the switch.
2. Choose a location near the devices to be connected and close to an
electrical outlet.
3. Proceed to “Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface” or “Installing the Switch
in a Rack.”
Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface
To install the switch on a desktop or any other flat surface:
1. Install self-adhesive rubber footpads on the bottom of the switch.
Peel off the protective backing from the rubber pads and apply one at each
marked location on the bottom of the switch.
2. Set the switch on a desktop or any other flat surface.
For proper ventilation, make sure that the switch has at least 2 inches of space on
each side and 5 inches of space at the back. It is very important that the fans
located in the rear panel are not blocked.
Caution: Restricted airflow could cause overheating of the components.
