2.
Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
3.
Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in a rear rack post. Use user-supplied
M6 screws to attach the slide rail to the post. See Figure2-20.
As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf-cm (2.94 Nm) to fasten the M6 screws.
4.
Repeat the preceding steps to attach the other slide rail to the other rear rack post.
Keep the two slide rails at the same height so the slide rails can attach into the chassis 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. For more information, see
chassis."
3.
Verify that the slide rails have been correctly attached to the rear rack posts. For more
information, see
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 to slide the chassis rails along the slide rails until the mounting
brackets are flush with the rack posts.
IMPORTANT:
If you use long slide rails to rack-mount the switch, make sure the front ends of the long slide
rails reach out of the chassis rails for a minimum of 20 mm (0.79 in). If you use super-short slide
rails to rack-mount the switch, make sure the front ends of the super-short slide rails reach
inside the chassis rails for a minimum of 110 mm (4.33 in) after installation.
6.
The other person uses user-supplied M6 screws and cage nuts (with surfaces treated for
corrosion protection) to attach the mounting brackets to the rack and verifies that the brackets
are level and secure.
As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf-cm (2.94 Nm) to fasten the M6 screws.
