have been sent, check this against the parts list. Check the parts for visible damages that may have occurred
during shipping.

Physical Installation
Note: You will need a mechanical lift, to move and insert the chassis into the rack.
This chassis can be installed in 19" racks with a maximum depth of 81cm.
The switch platform uses 20U of rack space in a standard 19" rack. The switch ships from the factory with
mounting racks on the front side. There are four threaded connectors on the top of the chassis for connecting
eye bolts. The four eye bolts are included in the installation kit. The chassis can be lifted using these four eye
bolts and a mechanical lift. The switch is supported from underneath the unit by a shelf.
Choose a rack which is able to support the mechanical and environmental characteristics of a fully populated
switch chassis as listed in the user manual.
