Installing the Switch Using the N3K-C3064-ACC-KIT Rack-Mount Kit
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.
If you attached a grounding cable to the chassis, you will need to bend one of the rack-mount rails slightly
Note
to allow the grounding lug to go behind the rail.
c) Holding the chassis level, insert screws (12-24 or 10-32, depending on the rack type) in each of the two front rack-mount
brackets (using a total of six screws) and into the cage nuts or threaded holes in the vertical rack-mounting rails (see
the following figure).
d) Tighten the 10-32 screws to 20 in-lb (2.26 N·m) or tighten the 12-24 screws to 30 in-lb (3.39 N·m).
Step 5
If you attached a grounding wire to the chassis grounding pad, connect the other end of the wire to the facility ground.

To install the switch, you must attach front and rear mounting brackets to the switch, install slider rails on the
rear of the rack, slide the switch onto the slider rails, and secure the switch to the front of the rack. Typically,
the front of the rack is the side easiest to access for maintenance.
Note
You must supply the eight 10-32 or 12-24 screws required to mount the slider rails and switch to the rack.
