Installing the switch in a 19-inch rack 

Rack-mounting procedures at a glance 

Figure2-2 Rack-mounting procedure 

 

 

 

NOTE: 

If a rack shelf is available, you can put the switch on the rack shelf and slide the switch to a position 
so that the mounting brackets make close contact with the front rack posts. Then use screws to 
secure the mounting brackets to the rack.
