Installing a Switch on a Desktop or Other Flat Surface

Before you begin the installation, refer to Pre-installation Requirements.

210 and 220 series switches are supplied with four self-adhesive rubber pads for mounting on desktops or other flat surfaces.

The pads keep the switch from scratching the supporting surface and help ensure adequate airflow around the switches when they are mounted on top of one another. You can safely place up to four switches on top of one another.

Caution

Do not place other equipment on top of desktop-mounted switches.

To mount a switch on a desktop – or any firm, flat surface – follow these steps:

  1. Carefully separate the four rubber pads (included).
  2. Apply the pads to the underside of the switch by placing a pad at each corner, ensuring that all corners are aligned.

After the switch is securely in place, install optional components using the instructions in Installing Optional Components.

Connect power to the switch. See Connecting Power to the Switch.
