Installation into a rack
This switch can be mounted in a standard 19"(1U) rack using the provided mounting brackets. The following
section will explain how to install the rack-mount brackets onto the switch and then mount the switch into a
standard 1U rack-mount unit.
The following parts will be used to install the switch into a rack-mount unit:
•
One pair of either frontal or rear rack-mount brackets.
•
Eight Phillips-head frontal or rear rack-mount bracket screws.
Additional equipment needed to install the switch into a rack-mount unit:
•
One Phillips-head screwdriver. This screwdriver will be used for the rack-mount bracket screws
•
One additional screwdriver. This screwdriver will be used for the rack-mount unit screws and its type
and size depends on the rack-mount unit screws being used.
•
Four rack-mount unit screws. These screws will be used to attach the switch onto to the rack-mount
unit and are not included in the switch’s packaging as rack-mount units differ at each installation site.
The figure below illustrates how to install the frontal rack-mount brackets onto the switch.
1.
Place the switch on a flat horizontal surface.
2.
Position the frontal rack-mount bracket over the screw holes on the side of the switch. The ears of
the bracket must be facing forward and outwards.
3.
Use the frontal rack-mount screws and the Phillips-head screwdriver to fasten the bracket onto the
side of the switch.
4.
Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the other frontal rack-mount bracket on the other side of the switch.
