To attach the slide rails to the rack:
1.
Identify the slide rail installation position in the rack.
2.
Install cage nuts (user-supplied) in the mounting holes in the rack posts.
3.
Align the screw holes in a slide rail with the cage nuts in a rear rack post, and use M6 screws
(user-supplied) to attach the slide rail to the post, as shown in
As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf-cm (2.94 Nm) to fasten the M6 screws.
4.
Repeat the preceding steps to attach the other slide rail to the other rear rack post.
Keep the two slide rails at the same height so that the slide rails can slide into the chassis rails.
Figure 12 Installing the slide rails
Mounting the switch in the rack
This task requires two people.
To mount the switch in the rack:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
2.
Verify that the 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.
4.
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 tasks:
a.
Supporting the bottom of the switch, aligns the chassis rails with the slide rails on the rack
posts.
b.
Pushes the switch slowly to slide the chassis rails along the slide rails until the mounting
brackets are flush with the rack posts.
6.
Another person uses screws (user-supplied) to attach the mounting brackets to the rack.
To secure the switch in the rack, make sure the front ends of the slide rails reach out of the
chassis rails.
