The switch ships with two (2) multi-position mounting ears and four (4)

Mount one of the ears to the switch using two (2) of the supplied
screws. Repeat this step for the other side of the switch.
2. Slide the switch into the rack and align the holes in the rack mounting
ears with the holes in the rack rails.
3. Insert and tighten appropriate rack-mounting screws (not provided).
