To install the switch in an equipment rack:
1. Place the unit on a level, secure surface.
2. If you are installing the switch in a configuration other than mid mount
in a 19-inch rack, remove the brackets from the sides of the switch.
You do not need to remove the brackets if you are installing the switch
as a mid mount in a 19-inch rack.
3. Attach the two rack mount brackets you removed to the sides of the
switch in the desired configuration using the ten bracket screws you
removed with the brackets. Figure 15, Figure 16, Figure 17 and
Figure 18 illustrate the four possible bracket positions.
