Attaching The Brackets To The Rps1000 - Linksys SFE2000P - Managed Ethernet Switch Installation And Administration Manual

Attaching the Brackets to the RPS1000

The bracket orientation and the screws that you use depend on whether you are attaching the
brackets for a 19-inch or a 24-inch rack. Use two of the supplied screws to attach each bracket,
according to the following guidelines:
• For a 19-inch rack, use the supplied number-8 Phillips flat-head screws to attach the long
side of the bracket to the RPS1000.
• For a 24-inch rack, use the supplied number-8 Phillips truss-head screws to attach the short
side of the bracket to the RPS1000.
NOTE: If you install the switch in a 24-inch rack, an
optional bracket kit that is not included with the switch is
required. You can order a kit that contains the 24-inch
rack-mounting brackets and hardware from Cisco (part
number RCKMNT-1RU=).
You can install the RPS1000 into a rack with either the front panel or the rear panel facing forward.
NOTE: If you plan to use the optional cable guide, you
should mount the RPS1000 with the rear panel forward.
The following figures show how to attach a bracket to one side of the RPS1000 for installation into
19-inch or 24-inch racks with the front panel facing forward The device can also be mounted so that
the rear panel of the RPS1000 faces forward.
