Equipment Rack Installation
To install the IntraStack in an equipment rack:
1. Place the IntraStack on a flat, stable surface.
2. Locate a rack-mounting bracket (supplied) and place it over the mounting holes

4. Repeat the two previous steps for the unit's other side.
5. Place the IntraStack in an equipment rack.
6. Secure the IntraStack by screwing its mounting brackets to the equipment rack.
Important: Make sure the switch is supported until it is secured to the equipment
rack. Failure to do so could cause the switch to fall, resulting in personal injury or
damage to the unit, or both.
