The vertical supports may have to be moved so that the vertical support closest to the door is a minimum of 6cm from the inside of the door. This is
required so that the shelf does not hit the door.
The switch platform uses 13U of rack space, 12U for the chassis and 1U for the shelf. The switch ships from the factory with mounting holes on the spine
side. There are upper brackets to connect the leaf side to the rack near the top of the chassis, and there are two lock-down bars to secure the chassis to
the shelf. The weight of the switch is supported from underneath the unit by the shelf.
Before starting any procedure on the switch system:
Put an ESD prevention wrist strap on your wrist, and make sure there is good contact between your body and the strap.
Plug the other end of the wrist strap to a valid ground. Make sure that this is a tight fit.

If you move the vertical supports make sure that you reinstall them vertically plumb.
Due to the space required by up to 216 connector cables, it is recommended to use a rack that is 120cm long and 80cm wide. This should allow
for proper cable management and enough ventilation to properly cool the chassis.
You may need a mechanical lift to move and insert the chassis into the rack.
It is recommended to use an AWG6 or 4mm diameter wire for grounding purposes.
