Two-post rack, using mounting brackets (not provided) to attach the front or the middle of the
switch to the posts.
To attach a switch to a two-post rack, a four-post rack or a cabinet, follow these steps.
Take care to load the rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start installing equipment at the bottom and work
up.
Four-Post Rack Mount
A four-post rack-mounting kit is included in the box with your switch. The kit contains an instruction
sheet, along with the following components:
•
Two mounting brackets, known as inner member in the instruction sheet. These pieces attach
directly to both sides of the switch housing.
•
Two slider assemblies, one for each side of the switch. Each slider assembly consists of an outer
piece that is secured to the rack and a sliding rail to which you will attach the corresponding
mounting bracket. These pieces are known on the instruction sheet as the outer member and
intermediate member.
•
Mounting ears - Black rack ears with a thumb screw in the middle (2 count)
•
Black mounting ear screws (6 count)
To attach your switch to a four-post rack, follow these steps:
1. Separate the inner sliding rails from the outer rails by extending the rails and pulling the disconnect
latch. Note which direction the sliding rails slide from the outer rails for correct installation.
