Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is well
grounded.
2.
Verify that the rack is well grounded and can support the weight of the switch chassis and all its
accessories.
3.
Unpack the front mounting brackets and the screws for attaching the brackets to the switch chassis.
4.
Align the round holes in one bracket with the holes in the front mounting position of the switch
chassis, and use the screws to attach the mounting bracket to the chassis, as shown in
Figure 4
.
