Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection

33

This chapter shows you how to install and connect the switch.  

1 Make sure the switch is clean and dry.

2 Set the switch on a smooth, level surface strong enough to support the weight of the 

switch and the connected cables. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby. 

3 Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow air circulation and the 

attachment of cables and the power cord.  

4 Remove the adhesive backing from the rubber feet.

5 Attach the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch. These rubber feet help 

protect the switch from shock or vibration and ensure space between devices when 
stacking. 

Figure 6   Attaching Rubber Feet    

Note: Do NOT block the ventilation holes. Leave space between devices when 

stacking.

For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at the front 
and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the switch. This is especially important for 
enclosed rack installations.
