Installing the Switch in a Rack

Attaching the Brackets to a Catalyst 2912 XL, 2924C XL, 2924 XL, 2912MF XL, or 2924M XL Switch

Follow these steps to attach the brackets to a Catalyst 2912 XL, 2924C XL, 2924 XL, 2912MF XL, or 2924M XL switch:

The bracket orientation and screws that you use depend on whether you are attaching the brackets for a 19-,23-, or 24-inch rack. Use two of the supplied screws to attach each bracket, according to rack size:

For a 19-inch rack, use the supplied Phillips flat-head screws to attach the long side of the bracket to the switch.

For a 23- or 24-inch rack, use the supplied Phillips truss-head screws to attach the short side of the bracket to the switch.

Figure 2-3,Figure 2-5,Figure 2-6,Figure 2-7, and Figure 2-8 show how to attach a bracket to one side of the switch. Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side of the switch.
