Installing the Rack-Mount Rails
Before you install the switch, you must first assemble and install the
rack-mount rails used to support the switch in a standard EIA rack. The rails
are shipped with the switch unit.
1. Align each rail edge flush against the rack, aligning the screw holes.
2. If necessary, adjust the depth of the rails by loosening or tightening
the locking screws with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
3. Secure the rails in place on both ends of the rack with the
rack-mount screws (4 per rail) shipped in the accessory kit:
a) Place the bottom screws loosely in the rack. If there are no
threads in the rack rails, thread the screws through the Tinnerman
nut retainers provided in the accessory kit.
b) Set the rails on the bottom screws.
c) Insert and tighten the remaining screws.
d) Securely tighten the bottom screws.
