Switch installation

Rack mount

Shelf mount

Caution: To avoid possible interference or damage, do not stack equipment on top of the switch.

Rack mounting guidelines

  • The maximum ambient temperature of the space the switch is installed in should not exceed 122°F/50°C.

  • There should be air flowing through the rack.

  • Make sure all the leveling feet or casters are adjusted correctly and they come in contact with the supporting surface. Always load heavier equipment at the bottom of the rack.

  • Make sure the rack is grounded and the equipment is surge protected.

  • Do not overload the power equipment or the switch. Read our WattBox Best Practices for more information.
