CAUTION: If you are installing more than one switch in a rack or cabinet,

switch manually in an upper position in a rack or cabinet.
Ensure that the rack or cabinet is placed in its permanent location and is secured to

the building.
Position the switch in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in front of the adjustable

chassis and carefully lift it onto the adjustable mounting brackets installed in a
four-post rack or onto the power cord tray installed in a two-post rack. See Figure 49
