Rack-Mounting Guidelines
CAUTION : If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or the rack is otherwise
stabilized.
CAUTION : If installing this kit in an EIA rack, attach the switch to all four rack-mounting rails; the
EIA rails may not be thick enough to prevent flexing of the shelf brackets if only two rails are used.
