  • Page 24: Rack Mount Installation

    The following method of installation is easier with two people, but can be accomplished with one person. It can be difficult to align the switch correctly along the rack rails with only one person. Take one set of rack brackets and separate them. Each side arrives assembled to its counterpart, but should be separated before attaching to the switch when using this method of installation.
  • Page 25 The two counterparts to these sliding rails (without screw holes) should still be unattached. Check your rack for clearance for the switch. The switch can be installed either directly on top of another device (using the rubber feet, which are provided), or be suspended from the rack brackets.
