Mounting the switch on a workbench 
 
IMPORTANT: 
•  Reserve a clearance of 10 cm (3.9 in) around the chassis for heat dissipation. 
•  Do not place heavy objects on the switch. 
 
To mount the switch on a workbench: 
1.  Verify that the workbench is sturdy and reliably grounded.  
2.  Place the switch bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with a dry cloth.  
3.  Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom.  
4.  Place the switch upside up on the workbench.

Mounting the switch on a wall 
Only the HP 1920-8G switch can be installed on a wall. The type of screws used to mount the switch on 
the wall depends on the wall type. This section uses a concrete wall as an example.  
Wall-mounting anchor kits are user supplied. The screws must be a minimum of 3 mm (0.12 in) in 
diameter, and the screw head must be a minimum of 6 mm (0.24 in) in diameter.

To install the switch on a concrete wall: 
1.  Drill two holes at the same height. Make sure the spacing in between is 160 mm (6.30 in), as 
shown in Figure 9. 
T
he hole depth and diameter depend on the wall anchors and screws you use. Make sure you can 
push the anchors to their full depth in the holes.
