The pads keep the switch from scratching the supporting surface and help ensure adequate airflow
around the switches when they are mounted on top of one another. You can safely place up to four
switches on top of one another.
Caution
Do not place other equipment on top of desktop-mounted switches.
To mount a switch on a desktop – or any firm, flat surface – follow these steps:
1 Carefully separate the four rubber pads (included).
2 Apply the pads to the underside of the switch by placing a pad at each corner, ensuring that all
corners are aligned.
See Figure 43.
