a. If the mounting brackets are in the rear mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw holes at the front of the
side panels. See Figure
Attaching the rear mounting brackets/chassis rails/grounding cable to the chassis.
b. If the mounting brackets are in the front mounting position, align the chassis rails with the screw holes at the rear of the
side panels. See Figure
Attaching the front mounting brackets/chassis rails to the chassis.
4. Use M4 screws (provided) to attach the chassis rails to the chassis.
5. Secure the mounting brackets and chassis rails to both sides of the chassis in the same way.
Connecting the grounding cable
CAUTION: The primary grounding point and auxiliary grounding point 1 are located on the left side panel. If you use
one of these grounding points, you must connect the grounding cable to the grounding point before you mount the
switch in the rack.
As a best practice, connect the grounding cable to the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1. The grounding
cable and grounding screw that come with the switch are suitable only for these two grounding points.
To use auxiliary grounding point 2, you must prepare a grounding cable yourself.
To connect the grounding cable:
Procedure
1. Choose a grounding point.
2. Unpack the grounding cable and grounding screws.
3. Align the two-hole grounding lug at one end of the cable with the grounding holes of the grounding point. Use the
grounding screws to attach the grounding lug to the chassis, as shown in Figure
Figure 9: Attaching the rear mounting
brackets/chassis rails/grounding cable to the chassis on page 18.
Attaching the slide rails to the rack
Procedure
1. Identify the rack attachment position for the slide rails.
2. Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
3. Align the screw holes in one slide rail with the cage nuts in the rack post on one side, and use screws (user supplied) to
attach the slide rail to the rack, as shown in the following figure:
