If you are not going to rack-mount the Switch, simply place it on a flat surface
being careful not to obstruct the airflow through the chassis (Allow 165mm (6.5”)
front and back. The airflow enters the front of the chassis and exits the back. The
top of each chassis has dimples for the rubber feet of a chassis stacked on top.

If you mount the Switch in a rack, you must remove the side-fillers and install the
rack-mounting brackets supplied with the Switch. You may also need to remove
the Switch’s rubber feet. They are easily removable in case they are not
compatible with your rack. Without the rubber feet, the Switch occupies 2U of
space in an EIA rack. The following steps describe how to prepare the chassis for
rack mounting:

a.

Remove the Face-plate by pulling it straight off the front of the chassis.

b.

Remove the two Side-Fillers. They are each secured with six captive
