Rack Mounting the Switch
2. Use the screws to attach the brackets to the chassis.

3.2.2
Assembling the Rails onto the Equipment Rack
Rail-rods and rail-slides assemble into two identical rails. Each rail connects a front post to a rear post.
When the rails are installed, the switch slides on the rails into the rack. Each bracket includes a screw
that attaches the switch to the rail.
Each end of an assembled rail contains two rack plugs (
Figure 5: Attaching the Mounting Brackets
). The rails are installed into a rack by inserting the plugs into rack slots. When
installing rails into posts with threaded or rounded holes, remove all plugs located on both sides of the
assembled rails, then install the rails with bolts that fit the rack.
Figure 5: Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Switch Chassis
This procedure attaches the rails to a four post rack:
1. Slide a rail-rod into a rail-slide (
Figure 6: Assembling the Rails
) until the rail clip makes an audible
click.
