Figure 11. Installing Rack-Mount Brackets on the Front Side of the Chassis
4. If you are installing the chassis into an ungrounded rack, you must attach a customer-supplied
grounding wire to the chassis, as explained in Grounding the Switch. However, if you are installing the
chassis into a grounded rack, you can skip this step.
5. Install the switch onto the 2-post rack:
a) Holding the switch with both hands, position the back of the switch between the two posts of the
rack. Then gently move the switch until the rack-mount brackets come in contact with two rack
posts.
b) Holding the chassis level, insert three screws (12-24 or 10-32, depending on the rack type) into
each of the two rack-mount brackets (using a total of six screws) and into the cage nuts or threaded
holes in the rack or cabinet posts.
