cables. The switch is supplied with four self-adhesive rubber pads.

bottom of the switch.
2 Set the switch on a flat surface, and make sure that it has proper
ventilation by leaving 5 cm (2 inches) on each side and 13 cm (5 inches) at
the back.

connected together through the stack ports, they operate as a single unit with
up to 336 front panel ports. The stack operates and is managed as a single
entity. Refer to the User Configuration Guide and the CLI Reference Guide for
