Installing the Switch Chassis
To make sure that the slider rails are at the same level, you should use a level tool, tape measure, or carefully count
the screw holes in the vertical mounting rails.
Step 5
Insert the switch into the rack and attach it as follows:
a) Holding the switch with both hands, position the two rear rack-mount brackets on the switch between the rack or
cabinet posts that do not have slider rails attached to them (see the following figure).
1
Align the two rear rack-mount bracket guides with
the slider rails installed in the rack.
2
Slide the rack-mount guides onto the slider rails until
the front rack-mount brackets come in contact with
the front rack-mount rails.
b) Align the two rear rack-mount guides on either side of the switch with the slider rails installed in the rack. Slide the
rack-mount guides onto the slider rails, and then gently slide the switch all the way into the rack until the front
rack-mount brackets come in contact with two rack or cabinet posts.
c) Holding the chassis level, insert two screws (12-24 or 10-32, depending on the rack type) in each of the two front
rack-mount brackets (using a total of four screws) and into the cage nuts or threaded holes in the vertical rack-mounting
rails (see the following figure).
