Switch Installation
Desktop Hardware Installation
The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When
installing, consider the following pointers:
Note: Your switch model may be different than the one shown in the example
illustrations.
•Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place.
•Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such
as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
•Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.
•Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an
EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the
next section, Rack Mounting.
•When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the
bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub
case from scratching.
Rack Mount Hardware Installation
The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in
a wiring closet with other equipment. Attach the mounting brackets at the switch’s
front panel (one on each side), and secure them with the provided screws.
Note: The switch model may be different than the one shown in the example
illustrations.
Then, use screws provided with the equipment rack to mount each switch in the rack.
