AC power cord. For switches with removable AC power supplies, a separate power cord is needed
for each installed power supply. The cord must meet the requirements listed in

Attaching the Switch to a Rack or Cabinet
To attach a switch to a two-post rack, a four-post rack, or a cabinet, follow these steps.
Take care to load the rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start installing equipment at the bottom and work
up.
1 On one side of the switch, set a mounting bracket against the switch housing.
Set the flange even with the front panel of the switch – or, if you are mid-mounting the switch in a
two-post rack, set the flange toward the back of the switch.
The following figures illustrate how to attach the brackets for two common mounting options.
