CHAPTER 5: INSTALLING THE SWITCH
5.3 SWITCH INSTALLATION
You can mount the switch in the 1U front-rack or 1U flush or center two-post configurations. Following is an example of a front-rack
configuration.
For the 1U flush or center two-post configurations, slide the switch into the rails in the same manner as the four-post
configurations.
1U FRONT-RACK INSTALLATION
Configure the rails that are attached to the switch.
1. Attach the inner chassis members switch rails to the EMS100G-32 switch. Item 3 shows the detail for the front standoff with the
locking tab.

2. After you have installed both switch rails, line them up on the previously mounted rails and slide the switch in until it is flush with
front of rack.
About three inches before you fully insert your switch, the rail locking feature engages to keep the switch from inadvertently sliding
out of the rack and falling.
