NOTE: The 12-24 screws supplied with the four-post rack mount kit are the correct threading for
standard EIA/TIA open 19- inch racks. If installing the switch in an equipment cabinet such as a
server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came with the cabinet in place of the 12-24 screws
that are supplied with four-post rack mount kit (JL9583B).
Complete step 1, and plan which holes you will be using in the cabinet and install all four clips.
Then proceed to step 2.
1. Use a T20 drive screwdriver and attach the front-post and rear-post rack mount brackets to the switch
with the included 8-mm M4 screws.
