Installing the switch in a standard 19-inch rack (for the 12508E)

NOTE:

If the screw holes on the mounting brackets cannot align with the cage nuts on the rack, verify that the
bottom edge of the slide rail aligns with the middle of the narrowest metal area between mounting holes

and that the cage nuts are installed in the correct holes.

Verifying the installation

After the installation is completed, check the installation against the following checklist. Make sure all

check results are positive.
