4. EQUIPMENT MOUNTING SETUP

4.1 RACK MOUNT

The CN-1108 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 CN-1108 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 CN-1108 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 1-2
inches on each side, for adequate airflow.

4.3 STACK MOUNTING

Use the diamond shaped stackable mounts to attach to CN 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 in making 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 HPNA ports, use of shielded
Cat. 5 are highly recommended. Refrain from using excess cable when installing to
further reduce line noise and cross talk.
