Step 2 Install the rack-mount guides on the switch as follows:

a.Position one of the rack-mount brackets against the side of the switch and align the screw holes as shown in Figure 2-7. Then attach the bracket to the switch with two of the flat-head M4 screws.

b.Repeat with the other rack-mount bracket on the other side of the switch.

Step 3 Attach the slider rails to the rack as shown in Figure 2-8. Use two 12-24 screws or two 10-32 screws, depending on the rack rail thread type. For racks with square holes, insert the 12-24 cage nuts in position behind the mounting holes in the slider rails.

a.Repeat with the other slider rail on the other side of the rack.

b.Use the tape measure and level to verify that the rails are horizontal and at the same height.

Step 4 Insert the switch into the rack and attach it as follows:

a.Using both hands, position the switch with the back of the switch between the front posts of the rack.

b.Align the two rack-mount guides on either side of the switch with the slider rails installed in the rack. Slide the rack-mount guides onto the slider rails, and then gently slide the switch all the way into the rack. See Figure 2-9. If the switch does not slide easily, try realigning the rack-mount guides on the slider rails.
