Scenario 2: Desk Mounting
Context
This installation method applies to all switch models except the S5710-HI, S6700-EI, and S6720-HI.
Follow these precautions:
- Ensure that the desk is flat, sturdy, and properly grounded.
- Leave at least 50 mm (2.0 in.) clearance around the switch for heat dissipation. Do not install a switch with its air intake vent facing or close to the air exhaust vent of other devices.
- Do not place any objects on the switch.
Tools and Accessories
- ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves
- Rubber pads (four per switch)
- Security lock (optional, purchased separately)
No rubber pads are delivered with a switch that does not support desk mounting.
Procedure
- Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves. When wearing an ESD wrist strap, ensure that it is in close contact with your wrist and grounded properly.
- Attach the rubber pads to the imprinted round areas at the bottom of the switch. See a in Figure 1.
- Place the switch gently on the desk. See b in Figure 1.
- (Optional) Install a security lock to lock the switch to the desk. See c in Figure 1.
To determine whether a security lock can be installed, check for the security slot marked with a padlock icon on the chassis. See Figure 2. If there is no security slot on the switch, it means that the security lock is not supported.
The security slot is 7 mm long and 3 mm wide. The maximum radius of its four round corners is 1 mm.
