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.
• Do not 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. To install, attach the mounting brackets
to the switch's side panels (one on each side) and
secure them with the screws provided.

Then, use the screws provided with the equipment rack
to mount the switch in the rack.

You can now connect the AC power cord into the rear of
the switch and to an electrical outlet (preferably one that
is grounded and surge protected).
