Figure2-7 Mounting an FS5100-8S-PWR-EI switch in the rack
Rack-mounting the switch by using front and rear mounting
brackets
Only the FS5100-52F-EI-PS supports this installation method.
Attaching front mounting brackets C and shoulder screws to the switch
The switch provides two installation positions on its side for the front mounting brackets. One is near
the power supply side and one is near the port side. The following procedure attaches the front
mounting brackets to the installation position near the port side. The power supply-side mounting is
similar.
To attach front mounting brackets C and shoulder screws to the switch:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap. Make sure the strap makes good skin contact and is reliably
grounded.
2.
Place the wide flange of the mounting bracket against the chassis side panel. Align the
mounting bracket installation holes with the screw holes in the chassis. See
3.
Use M4 screws (supplied with the switch) to attach the mounting bracket to the chassis. As a
best practice, use a torque of 12 kgf-cm (1.18 Nm) to fasten the M4 screws.
4.
Repeat the preceding two steps to attach the other mounting bracket to the chassis.
5.
Unpack the shoulder screws and attach them to the chassis. As a best practice, use a torque of
12 kgf-cm (1.18 Nm) to fasten the shoulder screws.
Two installation positions as red-marked in
are available for shoulder screws. Select
one as required.
