Choosing a Site for the Switch
Review these site recommendations and requirements.
Before installing the switch in an equipment rack, verify that the
rack is safely secured so that it will not tip over. Devices in a rack
should be installed starting at the bottom of the rack, with the
heavier devices near the bottom.
Before installing the switch on a table, verify that the table is level
and stable.

CentreCOM GS970M Series Quick Installation Guide 9
Before installing the switch on a wall, verify that the wall’s material
is strong enough to hold the switch’s weight. You should position
the device so that it can be screwed into the wall’s framing timber
or equivalent structural element.
The power outlet should be located near the switch and be easily
accessible.
The site should allow for easy access to the ports on the front of
the switch so that you can easily connect and disconnect cables,
and view the port LEDs.
The site should allow for adequate air flow around the unit and
through the cooling vents on the front and rear panels. (The
ventilation direction is from front to back.)
Do not place objects on top of the switch.
The site should not expose the switch to moisture or water.
The site should be a dust-free environment.
The site should use dedicated power circuits or power
conditioners to supply reliable electrical power to the network
devices.
Do not install the switch in a wiring or utility box that does not
have adequate airflow. The switch might overheat and shutdown.
Installing the Switch
Installing the Switch on a Desk or Table
The switch comes with four bumper feet installed on the bottom
panel, To install the switch on a desk or table, perform the following
procedure:
1. Verify that the table is secure and level. Verify that the location
has adequate ventilation.
2. Place the switch at the selected location.
3. Go to “Ports” on page 13.
Warning: Switches should not be stacked on a table or
desktop. They could present a physical safety hazard if
you need to move or replace switches. E91
