Figure 2.3: Horizontal rack mount assembly

NOTE: If you install the switch horizontally in the 1U rack mounting space, you must install the filler panel in the
front of the rack to prevent recirculation of hot air from the rear of the rack to the front.
1.
Remove the screws from each side of the switch.
2.
Line up the small holes in the long side of each mounting bracket.
3.
With a Phillips screwdriver, fasten the mounting brackets to the switch using two #8 32 x 5/16-
inch pan-head screws on each side.
4.
Attach four cage nuts or clip nuts to the rack mounting flange of the rack so that each nut is
positioned on the inside of the rack.
5.
Mount the switch assembly to the rack by matching the holes in the short side of each
mounting bracket to a set of matching holes on the rack. Insert the combination hex-head
screws through the slots in the mounting bracket and the holes in the mounting rail, and then
into the four cage nuts or clip nuts.
