Wall-Mount Placement
1. On one of the side corners, remove the four front screws on of the Ethernet switch. Retain 
the screws for re-installation.
2. Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the Ethernet switch so the four holes 
align to the screw holes.
3. Place a rack mount bracket next to the spacer and reinstall the four screws (removed in 
step 1). The wall mount brackets should point towards the bottom of the Ethernet switch.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other corners of the Ethernet switch.
5. Attach the Ethernet switch to a wall with appropriate screws (not supplied).
Connecting the Cables
To connect network devices to the Ethernet switch, follow these instructions:
1. For 10/100Mbps devices, connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one of the 
numbered ports on the Ethernet switch. For a 1000Mbps device, connect a Category 5e 
Ethernet network cable to one of the uplink ports on the Ethernet switch.
2. Connect the other end to a PC or other network device.
NOTE: The Ethernet switch, shown 
below, is mounted with the ports located 
on top. When the switch is mounted to a 
wall, the ports can be oriented in any 
direction.
CAUTION: Ensure that the Ethernet 
switch is securely attached to the wall.
