• If any other devices are stored in the rack or cabinet, verify that they are located below where you plan
to install the switch. Also, verify that lighter devices in the same rack are located above where you plan
to install this switch.
• Verify that the bottom-support rails kit is included in the switch accessory kit.
Step 1
Position one of the two adjustable bottom-support rails at the lowest possible RU in the rack or cabinet and adjust the
length of the rail so that it stretches from the outer edges of the front and rear vertical mounting rails. Be sure there is at
least 24 RU of vertical space above the rails to install the chassis (see the following figure).
You can expand the rail so that its mounting brackets are spaced between 24 to 32 inches (61.0 to 81.3 cm).
Figure 5: Positioning Bottom-Support Rails
Allow at least 24.5 inches (62.2 cm) (14 RU) for
each chassis.

Position two bottom-support rails at the lowest
RU on the rack.
