Mounting
MOUNTING
This switch can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a horizontal
surface. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.
RACK MOUNTING
Prior rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors:
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not over-
loaded.
Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains.
To rack-mount devices:
1. Attach the two brackets to the device using the eight M4 screws provided in the rack-
mounting kit.

2. Mount the device in the rack, using four 12-24 rack-mounting screws.
NOTE: The switch can also be mounted in a rack using a rack shelf or rack “L”
brackets.
