Attention: The rack-mounting frame may not be able to support the weight of the
networking switch with only the front post mounting brackets (2-post application). If
the switch has an undesirable amount of sag, it is recommended to use a 4-post
mounting kit.
Attention: For earthquake stability, mount the switch in a 4-post rack.
DANGER
Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces.

To install the RackSwitch in an IBM System Networking adjustable 19” 4-post rail
rack (for Power and System x racks), complete the following steps:
1. Locate and record the product switch information to configure and register your
product and set aside. See “Before installing the RackSwitch” on page 15.
Note: If this switch is a replacement switch, copy the product information from
the original switch onto the RID label that is shipped with replacement
switch and affix the new label to the bottom of the new switch.
2. Use the M4 screws to attach the front mounting brackets to each side of the
switch. Torque the screws to approximately 2.0 newton-meters (Nm) +/- 0.1 Nm
(17.7 inch-pounds).
