Attach the brackets on both sides of the chassis for the position you select.
  • Page 38 Installing the ProCurve Switch 8100fl Installation Procedures 6. Position the chassis in the product sling so that the front of the chassis lines up with the front edge of the sling (see illustration below). This allows the back of the chassis to extend over the sling so that it can be more easily positioned in the rack or on the rack shelf.
  • Page 39 Installing the ProCurve Switch 8100fl Installation Procedures 8. With the help of a third person, carefully slide the chassis into the rack (over the rack shelf, if one is installed) until the mounting brackets touch the rack and you can remove the product sling. The chassis may lean slightly backwards in the rack.
  • Page 40 Installing the ProCurve Switch 8100fl Installation Procedures 9.
