• Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic
field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct
exposure to sunlight.
• Leave at least 10cm of space to the front and rear of the
Switch for ventilation.
• Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support
its weight, or in an EIA standard-size equipment rack. For
information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack
Mounting.
• When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the
rubber pads (feet) to the bottom. The rubber feet cushion the
switch and helps protect the case from scratches.
