Rack Mounting the Switch
Figure 11: Attaching the Four-Post Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis
1 Step 1 4 Bracket clip (attached)
2 Step 2 5 Bracket clip (aligned)
3 Step 3
This procedure attaches the rails to a four post rack:
1. Slide a rail-rod into a rail-slide ( Figure 12: Assembling the Rails ) until the rail clip makes an audible
click.
The rail clip prevents the extension of the rail beyond the maximum supported distance between the
front and rear rack posts.

1 Rail-slide 4 Rail (assembled)
2 Rail-rod
3 Rack plugs
2. Attach rail to the right rear rack post by inserting rod-end rack plugs into post slots ( Figure 13:
Attaching the Rails ). The slide assembly must be inside the right posts, relative to the left rack
posts.
If the rack plugs were previously removed, use bolts to attach the rail to the rack.
3. Attach the slide end of the rail to the front post by extending the rail end past the post, then
contracting the rail while guiding the rack plugs into the post.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the left posts. Ensure the rails are on the same horizontal level.
