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

The Switch can be placed on a desktop or rack-mounted on a standard EIA rack. Use the rubber 
feet in a desktop installation and the brackets in a rack-mounted installation.

Note: 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.

Make sure the Switch is clean and dry.

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. 

Make sure there is enough clearance around the Switch to allow air circulation and the attachment 
of cables and the power cord. 

The Switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other 
equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your Switch on a standard EIA rack using a rack-
mounting kit. 

• Two mounting brackets.
• Eight M3 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
• Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
