Step 2 – Switch Installation
For safe switch installation and operation, it is
recommended that you:
• Visually inspect the power cord to see that it is
secured fully to the AC power connector.
• Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and
adequate ventilation around the switch.
• Don't place heavy objects on the switch.
Desktop or Shelf Installation
When installing the switch on a desktop or shelf, the
rubber feet included with the device must be attached
on the bottom at each corner of the device's base.
Allow enough ventilation space between the device
and the objects around it.
Rack Installation
The switch can be mounted in an EIA standard size
19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet
with other equipment.
1. Attach the mounting brackets to the switch's side
panels (one on each side) and secure them with the
screws provided.
2. Use the screws provided with the equipment rack to
mount the switch in the rack.
Grounding the Switch
This section describes how to connect the switch
to the ground. You must complete this procedure
before powering on your switch.
Required tools and equipment:
• One M4 x 6 mm (metric) pan-head screw
(included in the mounting kit).
• Grounding cable (not included in the mouting kit):
The grounding cable should be sized according to
local and national installation requirements.
Depending on the power supply and system, a 12
to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for
installation. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is
recommended. The length of the cable depends on
the proximity of the switch to proper grounding
facilities.
• A screwdriver (not included in the mounting kit).
