1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2.
Verify that the front mounting brackets and chassis rails have been securely attached to the
switch chassis.
3.
Verify that the slide rails have been correctly attached to the rear rack posts.

Attach cage nuts (user-supplied) to the front rack posts and make sure they are at the same
level as the slide rails.
5.
One person performs the following operations:
a.
Supporting the bottom of the switch, aligns the chassis rails with the slide rails on the rack
posts.
b.
Pushes the switch slowly for the slide rails to slide into the chassis rails smoothly until the
mounting brackets are flush against the front rack posts.
−
For long slide rails of rack mounting rail kit A and slide rails of rack mounting rail kit C,
make sure the front ends of the slide rails reach out of the chassis rails.
−
For super-short slide rails of rack mounting rail kit B, make sure the slide rails slide a
minimum length of 110 mm (4.33 in) into the chassis rails.
6.
The other person uses M6 screws (user-supplied, rust-proofed) to attach the mounting brackets
