Before You Connect to the Network: Mounting Kit Instructions

NOTICE: Do not connect the switch to the network until you have established
the correct Internet Protocol (IP) settings.
Before you connect to the network, you must install the switch on a flat
surface or in a rack, set up a terminal emulation program, and plug in the
power cable. Then you will set up a password and IP address.
The switch is supplied with rubber feet for stationing it on a flat surface and
mounting brackets and screws for mounting it in a rack.
Installing on a Flat Surface
The switch can be installed on any appropriate level surface that can safely
support the weight of the hubs and their attached cables. There must be
adequate space around the switch for ventilation and access to cable
connectors.
To install the switch on a flat surface:
Set the switch on the flat surface and check for proper ventilation.
1
Allow at least 5.1 cm (2 inches) on each side for proper ventilation and
12.7 cm (5 inches) at the back for power cable clearance.
Attach rubber feet on each marked location on the bottom of the
2
chassis.
The rubber feet are optional but recommended to keep the unit from
slipping.
Installing in a Rack
The switch can be installed in most standard 48.3-cm (19-inch) racks.
To install the switch in a rack:
Use the supplied screws to attach a mounting bracket to each side of
1
the switch.
Position the switch in the rack and align the holes in the mounting
2
bracket with the holes in the rack.
