Attaching the front mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis
IMPORTANT:
M4 screws are used to secure the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the switch. As a best
practice, use a torque of 12 kgf-cm (1.18 Nm) to fasten M4 screws.
To attach the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis:
1.
Place the wide flange of a front mounting bracket against a side panel of the chassis and align
the round holes in the wide flange of the front mounting bracket with the screw holes in the side
panel. Then use M4 screws (provided) to attach the front mounting bracket to the chassis.
To install the front mounting brackets at the port side, see
, and
To install the front mounting brackets at the power supply side, see
2.
Determine the chassis rail installation position based on the front mounting bracket installation
position.
3.
Place the chassis rail against the side panel of the chassis and align the installation holes in the
chassis rail with rail mounting holes in the chassis. Then use M4 screws (provided) to attach the
chassis rail to the chassis.
For installation of chassis rails of rack mounting rail kit A (long slide rails), see
The chassis rails of rack mounting rail kit B (super-short slide rails) support narrow-spacing
installation and wide-spacing installation. Select narrow-spacing (as shown in
and
) or wide-spacing (as shown in
) installation
based on the distance between the front and rear rack posts.
4.
Follow the same procedure to attach another mounting bracket and chassis rail to the opposite
chassis side.
