To mount the switch onto an equipment rack:

1.Place the switch on a flat, stable surface.

2.Locate a rack-mounting bracket (supplied) and place it over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.

3.Use the screws (supplied) to se- cure the bracket (with a Phillips screwdriver).

4.Repeat the two previous steps on the other side of the unit.

5.Place the switch in the equipment rack.

6.Secure the switch by securing its mounting brackets onto the equipment rack.

Important! Make sure the unit is supported until all of the mounting screws for each bracket are secured to the equipment rack. Failure to do so could cause the unit to fall, which may result in personal injury or damage to the unit.

2.7.2Equipment Rack Guidelines

Size: 423 x 245 x 43 mm (17.25 x 10.0 x 1.7 inches)

Ventilation: Ensure that the rack is installed in a room where the temperature remains below 40° C (104° F). Be sure that there are no obstructions, such as other equipment or cables, blocking airflow to or from the vents.

Clearance: In addition to providing clearance for ventilation, ensure that there is adequate clearance for servicing the switch from the front.
