Find a flat horizontal surface - such as a table, desk or shelf. The switch comes with wall-mounting screws and a vertical stand. You're welcome to use the screws if you want to hang the switch in an open space on a wall. Use the vertical stand if you cannot provide adequate clear space on all sides with the switch in a horizontal position. Make sure the selected location is: • Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent. • Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space on all sides of the switch. • Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet). Also, you'll need one Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors for each device you want to connect to the switch. Each Ethernet cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).
