Attaching Mounting Brackets to the Chassis (Four-Post)
The following figure displays the front bracket alignment for mounting the switch into a four-post rack.
Figure 10: Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis
This procedure attaches mounting brackets to the switch chassis as depicted by the preceding figure.
1. Align the mounting brackets with the attachment pins to obtain the desired mounting position.
2. Place the bracket flush on the chassis with attachment pins protruding through key-openings.
3. Slide the bracket toward the front flange until the bracket clip locks with an audible click.
To remove the mounting bracket from the chassis, lift the front edge of the mounting bracket clip with
a flathead screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation
direction).
3.2.2
Assembling the Rails onto the Equipment Rack
Rail-rods and rail-slides assemble into two identical rails. Each rail connects a front post to a rear post.
When the rails are installed, the switch slides on the rails into the rack. Each bracket includes a screw
that attaches the switch to the rail.
Each end of an assembled rail contains two rack plugs (
Figure 11: Attaching the Four-Post Mounting
Brackets to the Switch Chassis
). The rails are installed into a rack by inserting the plugs into rack slots.
When installing rails into posts with threaded or rounded holes, remove all plugs located on both sides
of the assembled rails, then install the rails with bolts that fit the rack.
