Rack or Cabinet Mounting

W a r n i n g
The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable and/or falling over.
Install the Switch 2000 only on a tabletop or in an equipment rack or
cabinet designed for this product. The Switch 2000 weighs a minimum
of 17.3 lbs (7.86 kilos) with no interface modules or redundant power
supply installed. Rack or cabinet mounting should be done by two
people. If the rack or cabinet is empty, install the Switch 2000 at the
bottom; if not, install the switch as close to the bottom as possible. If
a lightweight device is already installed at the bottom, you may want
to remove it, install the Switch 2000 at the bottom, then reinstall the
lightweight device above the Switch 2000. If the Switch 2000 is
mounted high, the rack or cabinet may become unstable and possibly
fall over.

(Some cabinets require number 10-32 screws instead, which are not
included in the accessory kit.)
Insert a screw into the
top hole of a close pair

these—one in each of
the rack uprights.
