Repeat Steps 3a, 3b, and 3c to attach the other slider rail.
Step 4
Insert the switch into the rack and attach it as follows:
a.
Holding the switch with both hands, position the two mount rails on the switch between the rack
or cabinet posts that do not have slider rails attached to them.
b.
Align the two rear rack-mount guides on either side of the switch with the slider rails installed
in the rack. Slide the rack-mount guides onto the slider rails, and then gently slide the switch
all the way into the rack until the front-mount brackets come in contact with two rack or cabinet
posts. See
Figure 2-4

Note
If the switch does not slide easily, try realigning the rack-mount guides on the slider rails.
