Mounting the Switch in a Rack
The switch ships with two (2) multi-position mounting ears and four (4)
mounting screws.
Figure 2-1 shows the orientation of the mounting ears for attaching the
ears to the switch for a rack mount application. Mount the switch with the
front panel facing forward. Do the following:
1. 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).
4. Refer to “Connecting Switches to the Stack’s Backplane” on page 20.
