2.3.1 Wall Mounting

Do the following to attach your Switch to a wall.

See Table 5 on page 14 for how far apart to place the screws.

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 rack-

mounting kit.
