When you choose a location for the Switch, observe the following guidelines:
• Make sure that the Switch will be accessible and that the cables can be easily connected.
• Keep cabling away from sources of electrical noise, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• Position the Switch away from water and moisture sources.
• To ensure adequate air flow around the Switch, be sure to provide a minimum clearance of two inches
(50 mm).
• Do not stack free-standing Switches more than four units high.
