Before you begin
Check for the following rack and bracket requirements:
• Space of 2.8 inches (7.1 cm) (or one vertical rack width) for each switch in an E1A or 1EC
standard 19 inch (48.2 cm) equipment rack and T1A 23 inch (58.5 cm) equipment rack.
• Appropriate rack space to accommodate 1U switch height (44 mm).
• Rack bolted to floor and braced if necessary.
• Rack must be grounded to the same grounding electrode used by the power service in the
area. The group path must be permanent and must not exceed 1 Ohm of resistance from the
rack to the grounding electrode.
• One Spare Rack Mount Kit. This kit can be used as a replacement rack mount kit for the ERS
switch and must be ordered separately (Order Code AL3511001–E6).
Procedure
1. Ensure power is disconnected from the switch.
2. Attach a bracket to each side of the switch with the included screws.
3. Slide the switch into the rack. Insert and tighten the rack mount screws.
