CAUTION: If you are mounting multiple units on a rack, mount the heaviest
unit at the bottom of the rack and mount the other units from the bottom of
the rack to the top in decreasing order of the weight of the units.
To mount the switch on four posts in a rack:
Place the switch on a flat, stable surface.
1.
Align a front bracket (either flush with the front of the chassis or 2-in.-recessed from
2.
the front of the chassis) along the side panel of the switch chassis. Align the two holes
in the front of the brackets with the two holes on the front of the side panel.
NOTE: Each side of the chassis has twelve holes for attaching the
front-mounting brackets to the switch.
Six holes on the chassis side align with six holes in the front bracket when
the front bracket is mounted flush with the chassis front or recessed 2 in.
from the front of the chassis.
Insert M4x6-mm Phillips flat-head mounting screws into the two aligned holes and
3.
tighten the screws. Ensure that the remaining four holes in the front bracket are aligned
with the four holes in the side panel. See

Figure 32: Attaching the Front-Mounting Bracket to the Switch Chassis

Insert M4x6-mm Phillips flat-head mounting screws into the remaining four holes in
4.
the front bracket and tighten the screws.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for attaching the front bracket to the other side of the chassis.
5.
Have one person grasp both sides of the switch, lift the switch, and position it in the
6.
rack, aligning the front bracket holes with the threaded holes in the front post of the
rack. Align the bottom hole in both the front-mounting brackets with a hole in each
rack rail, making sure the chassis is level. See
