Installing the Switch with One Person

The following method of installation is easier with two people, but can be accomplished with one person. It can be difficult to align the switch correctly along the rack rails with only one person.

1.Take one set of rack brackets and separate them. Each side arrives assembled to its counterpart, but should be separated before attaching to the switch when using this method of installation.
