3. Mount the Switch
After you have verified that the switch passes its self test, you are ready to
mount the switch in a stable location. The Series 2700 Switches can be
mounted in these ways:
■ in a rack or cabinet
■
on a wall
■ on a horizontal surface
Rack or Cabinet Mounting
The Series 2700 Switches are designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard
19-inch telco rack or in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet. Note
that the mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can be rotated
allowing for a wide variety of mounting options.
W a r n i n g
For safe operation, please read the Installation Precautions on page
2-3 before mounting the switch.

The 12-24 screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for
standard EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks. If you are installing the switch in an
equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came
with the cabinet in place of the 12-24 screws that are supplied with the switch.
Complete step 1, on the next page. Then, plan which four holes you will be
using in the cabinet and install all four clips and partially install the two bottom
screws, as described in step 2 on the next page. Then proceed to step 3.
