Repeat the procedure for the 

channel on the opposite rack 

side.

2.  Installing the wiper and 

deflector

Attach the SwitchAir wipers on 

the device using the provided 

screws. Orient the wipers so 

their tabs face away from the 

centerline of the device.
Use the provided hardware to 

attach the deflector to the back 

of the SwitchAir device.

3.  Installing the switch 

Slide the network switch into 

the rack’s 3U space at the
