Installing the switch | 41
Horizontal surface mounting
Place the switch on a table or other horizontal surface. The switch comes with rubber feet in the
accessory kit that can be used to help keep the switch from sliding on the surface.
Attach the rubber feet to the four corners on the bottom of the switch within the embossed angled
lines. Use a sturdy surface in an uncluttered area. You may want to secure the networking cables and
switch power cord to the table leg or other part of the surface structure to help prevent tripping over
the cords.
