Rack-Mount Placement

Remove the four screws from each side near the front of the switch.

TEP

Retain the screws for re-installation. (Do not remove the four screws

from each side near the back of the switch.)

Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the switch so the

TEP

four holes of the spacers align to the screw holes. Place a rack

mount bracket next to the spacer and reinstall the four screws

removed in step 1.

If your screws are not long enough to reattach the bracket with

OTE

the spacer in place, attach the bracket directly to the case without the

spacer.

Repeat

TEP

After the mounting hardware has been securely attached, the

TEP

switch is now ready to be installed into a standard 19-inch rack.

AUTION

be unstable and might tip over.
