A WSS can be installed on either a tabletop surface or in an equipment rack. Table 2 outlines which installation
methods are available for each WSS model.
When choosing a location for the WSS, ensure that:
• The power outlet is within 1.82 m (6 ft) of the device.
• There is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the
switch.
Tabletop Installation
Step Action
1 Ensure that the table surface supports at least 3 kg (6.6 lb).
2 Carefully turn the WSS upside down on a clean work surface with no debris.
3 Wipe the four placement locations for the rubber feet to clear away any oil or dust.
Each location area is marked with an ‘X’.

Equipment Rack Installation
Step Action
1 Remove the four bracket screws from each side of the WSS.

• For a front-mount equipment rack, align the bracket so that the bracket flange is
flush with the WSS front panel and away from the switch.
• For a center-mount equipment rack, align the bracket so that the bracket flange
is located near the center screw holes, as shown in
Figure 2 .
