Managed Switches
There are two ways to physically install the switch:
• Place the switch on a flat surface. To place the switch on a desktop,
install the four rubber feet (included) on the bottom of the switch.
• Mount the switch in a standard rack (1 rack unit high).
Placement Tips
Do not deploy the switch in a location where any of the following
conditions exist:
• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the switch from overheating, do not
operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 122°F
(50°C).
• Air Flow—Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the switch.
• Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the switch is level and stable to
avoid any hazardous conditions.
• Circuit Overloading—Adding the switch to the power outlet must not
overload that circuit.
These switches must be supplied by power from the building in which
they are used or from UL listed information technology (ITE) equipment. For
assistance with obtaining a power supply, contact your Cisco
Representative.

Rack Mounting

You can mount the switch in any standard size, 19-inch (about 48 cm) wide
rack. The switch requires 1 rack unit (RU) of space, which is 1.75 inches
(44.45 mm) high.
For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the

heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to
be unstable and might tip over.
