Mounting the Switch
CAUTION: Read the safety information in the Product Information Guide as well as the safety
information for other switches that connect to or support the switch.
The two AC power connectors are on the back panel of the switch.
Installing in a Rack
CAUTION: Do not use rack mounting kits to suspend the switch from under a table or desk, or attach it
to a wall.
CAUTION: Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing. Remove all self-adhesive pads
from the underside of the switch, if they have been attached.
CAUTION: When mounting multiple switches into a rack, mount the switches from the bottom up.
