Rack-mounting the Edge Switch 2/24

Read this section to install the Edge Switch rack mount kit in the appropriate rack.

Mounting the Adjustable Brackets in the Rack

Use these steps to install the adjustable brackets on the rack. You will need a #2
Phillips screwdriver and eight 10x32 panhead screws to complete this procedure.
NOTE: If you are installing the Edge Switch 2/24 in an HP 9000, 10000 and 11000 series rack,
you will also need eight square alignment washers to complete this procedure.
1. Determine the position of the switch in the rack. Each Edge Switch 2/24 is 1.75
inches or 1U high.
2. Attach four bar nuts (three-hole bar nuts) to the cabinet frame using eight (8)
Phillips panhead screws (10-32 x 1/2) with split lock and flat washers.
NOTE: Do not install a screw in the center hole of each bar nut.
a. If you are installing the Edge Switch 2/24 in an HP 9000, 10000 and 11000
series rack, place a square alignment washer on each panhead screw before
inserting in the square cabinet frame holes.
b. Mount the bar nut on the inside of the cabinet frame. Orient the holes in the
bar nut so that they are aligned closest to the inside edge of the cabinet frame.
c. Secure, but do not completely tighten all screws.
3. Measure cabinet depth from inside edge to inside edge of the cabinet frame.
4. Assemble two sets of front and rear brackets so that the combined brackets are
equal to the depth of the cabinet.
5. Attach a two-hole bar nut using four (4) Phillips flathead screws (8-32 x 7/16) to
hold each assembled bracket together. Do not completely tighten but tighten
enough to hold the brackets together.
6. Install the assembled brackets in the cabinet by sliding the mounting brackets
between the bar nut and cabinet frame.
7. Tighten the three-hole bar nut screws on the mounting brackets to where the rails
are stable, but can be easily adjusted.
8. Securely tighten the two-hole bar nut screws holding the front and rear brackets
together.
