Installing the Switch without a Rack This section is used to guide the user through installing the switch in an area other than a switch rack. Attach the rubber feet included to the bottom of the switch. Take note that there should be marked blocks on the bottom of the switch to indicate where to attach the rubber feet. These marking are usually found at each bottom corner of the device. The rubber feet cushion the switch, protecting the casing from scratches and preventing it from scratching other surfaces. Figure 2-1 Prepare the Switch for installation on a desktop or shelf Install the switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support the weight of the switch (see the Appendix section for the Weight specifications of this switch). Do not place any heavy objects on the switch. The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the switch. 7
