Mounting the switch in the rack
The rack-mounting procedure is similar for the switches. The following procedure mounts an
S6861-54QF switch in a rack.
This task requires two people.
To mount the switch in the rack:
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
1.
Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the switch
2.
chassis.
Verify that the slide rails have been correctly attached to the rear rack posts.
3.
Install cage nuts (user-supplied) to the front rack posts and make sure they are at the same
4.
level as the slide rails.
One person performs the following operations:
5.
a. Supporting the bottom of the switch, aligns the chassis rails with the slide rails on the rack
posts.
b. Pushes the switch slowly to slide the chassis rails along the slide rails until the mounting
brackets are flush with the rack posts.
The other person uses screws (user-supplied) to attach the mounting brackets to the rack.
6.
If the slide rails or long slide rails are used, make sure the front ends of the slide rails or long
slide rails reach out of the chassis rails. If the super-short slide rails are used, make sure the
super-short slide rails slide a minimum length of 90 mm (3.54 in) into the chassis rails.
