Note
Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of
the rear posts. If your rack has this feature, consider the position of the
strip when planning fastener points. Before installing the L brackets on
the chassis, determine whether to install the chassis from the front or the
rear of the rack.
Step 2
Install the L brackets, which connect the chassis to the rack, as follows:
a.
Remove the screws from the front of the switch side-cover panels.
b.
Attach the left and right L brackets using the six M4 Phillips pan-head screws
(three screws per side) provided in the rack-mount kit.
