SilkWorm 2100 Reference
Ensure that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable ground connection.
Place power cord to enable switch to move freely on the slides. Avoid crimping or
damaging the power cord; also avoid interfering with other equipment.
If using the standard supplied mounting kit, use the mounting hardware provided.
Using hardware that does not meet specifications can damage the SilkWorm 2100
switch.
For a slide mount, use the slide rack kit to attach the switch to a standard 19-inch rack.
To install the slide mount:
1. Disassemble the slide rails by fully extending them, pressing the release, and pulling
the slide rails apart.
2. Mount an inner slide rail to each side of the switch using the screws supplied.
Note: In order for the slides to work properly, all mounting screws must be
inserted with the screw heads inside the slides. Do not use washers.
3. Attach the outer slide rails to the rack mounting rails using the four rack mounting
brackets provided.
4. Optional: Attach the mounting ears to the switch using the screws provided. Mount-
ing ears are required only if you plan to lock the switch to the rack.
5. Slide the inner rail completely into the outer rail ensuring that they lock into place.
6. Check alignment by opening and closing the slide rails; if binding occurs, re-align the
slide rails.
7. Optional: Secure the switch by attaching the mounting ears on the switch to the rack
mounting rail using the hardware provided. Complete this step only if you want to
lock the switch to the rack.
8. Connect the switch to power.
