QUICKSTART GUIDE they have rubber feet they can also be installed on a shelf or table top unit. The compact size allows the Unit to be easily placed in an office or lab area, and it can also be either shelf of wall-mounted. Locate a power source within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Unit site. The rugged metal case will normally protect the switch from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually monitor the status LEDs. 2 MULTILINK ETH

QUICKSTART GUIDE The 23-inch brackets and the ETSI (European metric, approximately 21") brackets are also available for rack-mounting of the Unit. These brackets are popular in the telecommunications industry where they are a standard for central office rack-mounting purposes. The 23-inch and the ETSI brackets are mainly used for larger equipment assemblies in rack-mounting frames where the rack-mount equipment is typically accessed in operation from both sides. The bracket mounting holes i
