Installing the Switch
This section describes how to use the rack mount kit to install the Cisco MDS 9148T switch into a cabinet or
rack that meets the requirements described in the
Cabinet and Rack Requirements
section.
Installing the Switch in a 4-Post Rack
To install the switch, you must attach the front and rear mounting guides to the switch, install the slider rails
on the rear of the rack, slide the switch into the slider rails, and secure the switch to the front of the rack.
Typically, the front of the rack is the side that is easiest to access for maintenance.
