Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to 
uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that 
overloading of the circuit might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate 
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of rack-mount equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to 
supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Table-Mounting OS6450 Switches
General Table-Mounting Guidelines
OmniSwitch 6450 switches can be installed freestanding as tabletop-mounted units. If you will be table-
mounting your switch(es), refer to the important guidelines below before installing.
• When choosing a location for the switch, be sure that adequate clearance has been provided for chassis 
airflow and access to the front, back, and sides of the chassis. For recommended clearances, refer to 
“Airflow Recommendations” on page 4-2.
• The power cord measures two (2) meters (approximately 6.5 feet) in length. When table mounting the 
switch, be sure that the mounting location is within the reach of all the required power sources.
Table-Mounting Installation
1 Locate the four indentations on the bottom of the chassis. 
2 Using the adhesive on the rubber feet attach them to the indentations, pressing firmly to ensure they are 
properly adhered. 
Place the chassis on the table as desired.
