Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco MDS 9100 Series

Installing the Switch in a Cabinet with Insufficient Front Clearance

Step 2 Insert the switch into the rack:

a.Using both hands, position the switch with the back of the switch between the rear rack-mounting rails as shown in Figure 2-14.

b.Align the two C brackets on either side of the switch with the slider rails installed in the rack. Slide the C brackets onto the slider rails and then gently slide the switch all the way into the rack. If the switch does not slide easily, try realigning the C brackets on the slider rails.

Step 3 Connect the power cord that you previously routed through the open cutout of the slider rail to the switch, as shown in Figure 2-15. Limit the length of the power cord between the back of the chassis and the rail opening.

Note If you failed to route the power cord through the open cutout of the slider rail as directed in Step 1, remove the switch and rails and remount the rails using the correct method. Do not connect the power cord by routing it over the top of the slider rail, as shown in Figure 2-16. This type of installation is hazardous.
