EQUIPMENT MOUNTING SETUP
4.1 RACK MOUNT
EIA23

The HomePNA Switch is supplied with mounting ears for easy
installation into a Standard 19” rack configuration cabinet. Simply use the
supplied ears and screws to mount it to your current rack.
1. Use the included screws to secure ears into the sides of the
HomePNA Switch in the provided pre-drilled holes.
2. Align the unit into a single 19” rack space and secure using
standard rack mount screws, the use of a nut is optional.
4.2 SIMPLE STACK UP
When mounting the HomePNA Switch on a shelf, be sure to install the
included rubber feet onto the bottom of the unit to prevent scratching of the
mounting surface, as well as to allow clearance between the switch and
surface for better airflow. Once feet are installed onto the switch unit, allow for
a clearance of at least 5 inches from rear to wall, and 1 to 2 inches on each
side, for adequate airflow.
4.3 STACK MOUNTING

EIA23

Use the diamond shaped stackable mounts to attach to units together
from the sides. Simply apply the diamonds to each side using the included
screws to the upper holes on the bottom device, and the lower holes on the top
device.
4.4 CABLE SELECTION
Selecting the correct cable type(s) and length(s) will assist you to make
a clean and error free installation. For Ethernet uplinks and connections use
Cat.5 or higher certified cables, to minimize cross talk and noise in the cable.
For easier connection and safer operation use booted RJ-45 connections as
well. For HomePNA ports, use of shielded Cat.5 is highly recommended, but is
not a must. Refrain from using excess cable when installing to further reduce
line noise and cross talk.
