1. Remove and discard the four 10-32 screws from the sides of the switch.
2. Attach each rail to the switch using two 10-32 x .375-inch screws with captive washers
Make sure the slotted ends of the rails are on the power-supply side (not the SFP-port side) of the switch.

vertical post, two on each front vertical post). Then, from the inside of each vertical post, insert an M6
cage-nut for the rack you are using (square or round hole) into each marked hole
Fasten each rear mounting bracket to the marked holes, using two M6 machine screws.
