Rack-Mounting Instructions 3-5
Installing the Chassis in the Rack
Step 6
Attach the left and right L brackets using the six M4 Phillips countersunk-head
screws provided in the rack-mount kit.
Note
No shelf is required with this assembly; the L brackets support the chassis in the
rack.
Installing the Chassis in the Rack
The L brackets attach the chassis to the front mounting posts. You can mount the L brackets
on either the front or rear of the chassis, whichever end will be in the front of the rack.
Follow these steps to install the switch in an open rack that enables you to slide the chassis
in from the front.
Warning
Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the
lower edge and lift with both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with
your legs, not your back. To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt
to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies or on the interface processors, or
by the plastic panels on the front of the chassis. These handles were not designed to support
the weight of the chassis. To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the appendix
“Translated Safety Warnings.”
Step 1
Two people are required to perform this step.While referring to Figure 3-2, with a
person positioned at either side of the chassis, grasp the bottom edge of the chassis
with one hand near the front and the other near the back. Slowly lift the chassis in
unison. Avoid sudden twists or moves to prevent injury.
Step 2
Position the chassis in the rack as follows:
•
If the chassis front panel will be in the front of the rack, insert the rear of the
chassis between the rack posts, and align the four mounting holes in the L
bracket with four mounting holes in the equipment rack.
