Removing the Shelf Bracket Kit (Optional)
The shelf bracket kit can be removed after the Cisco MDS 9148S switch has been installed in a four-post
EIA rack, and both front rack-mount brackets and both C brackets are securely attached to the
rack-mounting rails.
To remove the shelf bracket kit, follow these steps:
Step 1
Remove the screws fastening the slider brackets to the rear rack-mounting rails, and then slide the slider
brackets out of the shelf brackets.
Step 2
Remove the screws fastening the crossbar to the shelf brackets, and then remove the crossbar.
Step 3
Remove the screws fastening the shelf brackets to the front rack-mounting rails and remove the shelf
brackets from the rack.
