Chapter 2 Hardware Description and Connection See Table 6 on page 15 for how far apart to place the screws. Table 6 Distance between the centers of the holes for wall mounting MODEL GS1100-8HP GS1100-16 DISTANCE 120 mm 148 mm GS1100-24E 207 mm 1 Screw the two screws provided with your Switch into the wall (see the figure in step 2). Use screws with 6 mm ~ 8 mm (0.24" ~ 0.31") wide heads. Do not screw the screws all the way in to the wall; leave a small gap between the head of the screw and the wall. The gap must be big enough for the screw heads to slide into the screw slots and the connection cables to run down the back of the Switch. Note: Make sure the screws are securely fixed to the wall and strong enough to hold the weight of the Switch with the connection cables. 2 Align the holes on the back of the Switch with the screws on the wall. Hang the Switch on the screws. The Switch should be wall-mounted horizontally. The Switch's side panels with ventilation slots should not be facing up or down as this position is less safe. 2.3.2 Rack Mounting The Switch can be mounted on an EIA standard size, 19-inch rack or in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow the steps below to mount your Switch on a standard EIA rack using a rackmounting kit. Rack-mounted Installation Requirements • Two mounting brackets. GS1100 Series User's Guide 15
