Rack Mounting Steps
To rack-mount the switch, follow the steps below:
Note.
Rack-mount flanges may come factory-installed in
some cases. If this is the case, skip steps 1 and 2 below.
1
Align the holes in the provided rack-mount flanges
with the four threaded holes in the OmniSwitch chassis.
These threaded holes are located in the left and right sides
of the chassis, near the front panel.
2
Attach the flanges to the chassis using the provided
Phillips-head screws. Be sure to tighten each of the screws
firmly using a Phillips screwdriver.

After the rack-mount flanges are secured to the chas-
sis, mark the holes on the rack where the switch is to be
installed.

Lift and position the switch until the rack-mount
flanges are flush with the rack post.
5
Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes that
were marked in step 3.
6
Once the holes are aligned, insert a rack mount screw
(not provided) through the
bottom hole of each flange
.
Tighten both screws until they are secure.
