Mounting the Cisco 350 Series Switches
2
Depending on your switch, there are two or three ways to install the switch:
• Place the switch on a flat surface. To place the switch on a desktop,
install the four rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch.
• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).
• Many of the 350 Series Cisco switches include wall-mounting slots on
the bottom of the device.

Placement Tips

Do not deploy the switch in a location where any of the following
conditions exist:
• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the switch from overheating, do not
operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 122°F
(50°C).
• Air Flow—Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the switch.
• Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the switch is level and stable to
avoid any hazardous conditions.
• Circuit Overloading—Adding the switch to the power outlet must not
overload that circuit.

Rack Mounting

You can mount the switches in any standard size, 19-inch (about 48 cm)
wide rack. The switch requires 1 rack unit (RU) of space, which is 1.75
inches (44.45 mm) high.
For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the

heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to
be unstable and might tip over.
