Rack-mounting the switch
This task requires two people. To mount the switch in the rack:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2.
Verify that the mounting brackets have been securely attached to the switch chassis.
3.
Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts. Make sure the
corresponding cage nuts on the left and right front rack posts are at the same height.
4.
One person holds the chassis and aligns the installation holes on the mounting brackets with
the cage nuts on the rack posts.
5.
The other person attaches the mounting brackets with M6 screws (user-supplied) to the rack.

IMPORTANT:
•
Ensure 10 cm (3.9 in) of clearance around the chassis for heat dissipation.
•
Do not place heavy objects on the switch.
If a standard 19-inch rack is not available, you can place you switch on a workbench.
To mount the switch on a workbench:
1.
Verify that the workbench is sturdy and reliably grounded.
2.
Place the switch with bottom up, and clean the round holes in the chassis bottom with dry cloth.
3.
Attach the rubber feet to the four round holes in the chassis bottom.
4.
