Console Port: Switch management can be done through the console
port. It requires a direct connection between the switch and an end
station (PC) via an RS-232 cable.
Desktop Installation
Set the switch on a sufficiently large flat space with a power outlet
nearby. The surface should be clean, smooth, level, and sturdy.
Make sure there is enough clearance around the switch to allow
attachment of cables, power cord and air circulation.
Attaching Rubber Feet
1. Make sure mounting surface on the bottom of the switch is
grease and dust free.
2. Remove adhesive backing from the rubber feet (supplied).
3. Apply the rubber feet to each corner on the bottom of the switch.
These footpads can prevent the switch from shock/vibration.
Installation Into an Equipment Rack
To mount the switch into an equipment rack:
1. Place the switch on a flat, stable surface.
2. Locate a rack-mounting bracket (supplied) and place it over the
mounting holes on one side of the unit.
3. Use the screws (supplied) to secure the bracket (with a Phillips
screwdriver).
4. Repeat the two previous steps on the other side of the unit.
5. Place the switch in the equipment rack.
6. Secure the switch by securing its mounting brackets onto the
equipment rack.
