TIP:
Tighten the rear screws just enough for the end of the screw to go through the rear brackets.
Later in the procedure, you will need room to slide the inner rail between the screw head and
the outer bracket.

Install the switch. See
Figure 20: Installing the switch in the rack
on page 35.

From the front of the rack, slide the switch (with inner rails attached) onto the outer rails, taking
care to align the inner rails with the attachment screws on the outer rails at the rear of the rack.
b.
When the switch is in place, secure the inner rails to the outer rails by tightening the screws at the
rear of the rack.

6.
At the front of the rack, run the switch power cords from the sides of the rack through the cutouts in
the rail, and then connect them to the switch power supplies. Connect two power cords to the
SN6000B 48-port switch. Connect one power cord to the SN3000B 24-port switch. See
Connecting power and installing the plenum
on page 36.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the power cords do not come in contact with any sharp edges.
NOTE:
For switches with Port Side Air Intake, the power connections are at the rear of the rack.
If you are configuring the second (optional) power supply, the SN3000B 24-port switch will also
have two power cords.
