The Series 2700 Switches are designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard

allowing for a wide variety of mounting options.

The 12-24 screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for
C a b i n e t standard EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks. If you are installing the switch in an
equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came

Complete step 1, on the next page. Then, plan which four holes you will be
using in the cabinet and install all four clips and partially install the two bottom
screws, as described in step 2 on the next page. Then proceed to step 3.
