environment specifications as references to choose the installation place. The
Ethernet cable length from the switch to an attached device cannot exceed

the switches and their accessories. Attach four rubber pads on the marked
location on the bottom of the switch.

correctly inserted into the switch. Use the screws provided to fasten the brackets
to the switch.
