Installing a Catalyst 6504-E Switch Chassis
This section provides procedures for installing a Catalyst 6504-E switch chassis in a rack assembly and
installing the optional cable guide assemblies.
Installation Accessory Kit
The Catalyst 6504-E switch chassis is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch rack, either open or
enclosed. The chassis is shipped with the 19-inch rack-mount L brackets factory installed on the
left-front and right-front of the chassis. Included in the accessory kit are both 10-32 x 0.75-inch and
12-24 x 0.75-inch screws that are used to secure the chassis in the rack.
Depending on the manufacturer, the rack posts might be prethreaded to accept either 10-32 or 12-24
Note
screws. If the rack posts are not prethreaded, you must install 10-32 or 12-24 clip nuts or cage nuts to
secure the rack-mount screws. The clip nuts or the cage nuts are not included as part of the accessory kit
and must be obtained on your own.
Also included in the accessory kit are two optional cable guides. The two cable guides are installed on
the front left- and right-side of the chassis using the same sets of screws (10-32 or 12-24) that secure the
chassis rack-mount L brackets to the rack posts.
L Brackets on the Catalyst 6504-E Switch Chassis
The Catalyst 6504-E switch chassis is shipped with the two L brackets installed on the front sides of the
chassis. The L brackets are secured to the chassis with six M4 Phillips-head countersunk screws (three
screws on each side) as shown in
