The distance between the rack and the door can be as little as 4 cm on one side of the rack and as
much as 18 cm on the other side of the rack. Keep in mind that there can be as many as 36 cables
connected to the switch.
•Do you want the connector side recessed in the rack to allow for larger cable bending
radius?
•Will the connector side be recessed past other equipment in the rack and will this be prob-

Install the rail slides onto the switch. Place the end of the rail slide with the 90
side of the switch that you want to be even with the vertical support of the 19" rack. Use four
of the flat head screws for each rail slide. There are two sets of holes in the rail slide. Select
the set of holes to either mount the switch closer or farther away from the rack vertical sup-
port. Tighten the screws to 3Nm or 26.5 pound inches.
This side of the
switch will be next
to the vertical rack
support.
