Attaching the Brackets to the RPS1000
The bracket orientation and the screws that you use depend on whether you are attaching the
brackets for a 19-inch or a 24-inch rack. Use two of the supplied screws to attach each bracket,
according to the following guidelines:
• For a 19-inch rack, use the supplied number-8 Phillips flat-head screws to attach the long
side of the bracket to the RPS1000.
• For a 24-inch rack, use the supplied number-8 Phillips truss-head screws to attach the short
side of the bracket to the RPS1000.
You can install the RPS1000 into a rack with either the front panel or the rear panel facing forward.
The following figures show how to attach a bracket to one side of the RPS1000 for installation into
19-inch or 24-inch racks with the front panel facing forward The device can also be mounted so that
the rear panel of the RPS1000 faces forward.
NOTE:
If you install the switch in a 24-inch rack, an
optional bracket kit that is not included with the switch is
required. You can order a kit that contains the 24-inch
rack-mounting brackets and hardware from Cisco (part
number RCKMNT-1RU=).
NOTE:
If you plan to use the optional cable guide, you
should mount the RPS1000 with the rear panel forward.
