Caution: The rack mount kits must not be used to suspend the switch from under
a table or desk, or to attach to a wall.
To rack mount the Summit switch, follow these steps:
1 If you are installing a Summit7i switch, mount the helper bracket in the rack using
four appropriate rack-mounting screws (not provided), as shown in Figure 2-1.
Only the Summit7i switch uses the helper bracket. The helper bracket is not
required to rack mount a Summit1, Summit1/LX, Summit4, Summit4/FX,
Summit24, or Summit48 switch.
