Installing Extreme Networks switches is easiest when there are two people to maneuver the switch and
attach mounting hardware.
Provide enough space in front of and behind the switch so that you can service it easily. Ensure that a

packaging. MicoVSP switches do not come with rack-mounting brackets or screws.
You need the following additional tools and equipment. These are not provided with your switch:
•
Screwdriver for securing the rack mounting screws.
•
#2 Phillips magnetic screwdriver to attach bracket screws that are provided with the switch.
•
