DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the
back panel of the Ethernet Switch when you take it out of the box. If you
need to reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate, make sure the stiff metal
spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
To remove the DIN-rail from the Ethernet Switch, simply reverse Steps 1
and 2.
:
Insert the top of the DIN-Rail into
the slot just below the stiff metal
spring.
:
The DIN-Rail attachment unit will
snap into place as shown below.
