Installing Summit Switches in Desktop or Free-Standing Mode

Before you begin the installation, refer to Pre-installation Requirements on page 314.

Summit family switches are supplied with four self-adhesive rubber pads for desktop mounting.

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.

For all Summit switches other than the X430-8p, you can safely place up to four switches on top of one

another.

Caution

Do not place any equipment on top of a desktop-mounted Summit X430-8p switch.

To mount your Summit switches on a desktop (or any ﬁrm, ﬂat surface), follow these steps:

1. Carefully separate the four included rubber pads for each switch you are mounting.
