Figure2-11 Installing the 1U slide rails
Mounting the switch in the rack
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2.
Verify that the mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the switch
chassis.
3. Verify that the slide rails have been correctly attached to the rear rack posts.
4. Attach cage nuts (user-supplied) to the front rack posts and make sure they are at the same
level as the slide rails.
5.
One person performs the following operations:
a. Supporting the bottom of the switch, aligns the chassis rails with the slide rails on the rack
posts.
b. Pushes the switch slowly for the slide rails to smoothly slide into the chassis rails until the
mounting brackets engage the front rack posts. To ensure installation security, make sure
the slide rails slide out of the chassis rails a minimum of 20 mm (0.79 in).
6. The other person uses M6 screws (user-supplied, rust-proofed) to attach the mounting brackets
to the rack. Make sure the switch is installed level and secure.
As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf-cm (2.94 Nm) to fasten the M6 screws.
