To install the switch on top of the rack-mount support brackets, follow these steps.
1. Verify that the rack-mount support brackets are level and securely attached to
the rack-mounting rails, the support rack-mount support brace is securely
attached to the brackets, and the rack is stabilized.
2. Slide a mechanical lift under the switch and lift the switch up onto the
rack-mount support brackets, ensuring it is squarely positioned.
3. Attach the switch to the rack-mounting rails. See “Installing the Switch” on
page 16.
CAUTION:
We recommend grounding the chassis, even if the rack is already grounded.
There is a grounding pad with two threaded M4 holes on the chassis for
attaching a grounding lug.
