VH-4802

Environmental
Install the VH-4802 switch in a dry area, with adequate air circulation.

Avoid placing the switch in direct sunlight or near other heat sources,

such as hot-air vents. For temperature and humidity specifications,

see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications.”

Ventilation
Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the side

of the switch.

Mounting the Switch on a Table or Shelf

You can mount the switch on a table or shelf. Locate the switch in a

position that allows access to the front panel RJ-45 ports, visibility of the

port LEDs, and access to the rear-panel modules and power cord. Make

sure that the mounting surface can safely support the switch and that

there is adequate space around the switch for ventilation and cooling.

1.

The switch ships with four (4) rubber feet. Stick the self-adhesive

rubber foot pads on each of the four concave spaces located on the

bottom of the switch. The rubber foot pads cushion the switch against

shock/vibrations and provide space between each switch for

ventilation.

2.

If you want to stack switches, repeat step 1 for each switch to be

stacked. Place the first switch on a firm flat surface where you want

to install the stack. Stack the other switches on top of this unit.
