Step5 Place the switch on the tray horizontally, slide the tray into the cabinet, and fix the other end of mounting brackets to the front brackets with crews and captive nuts, as shown in Figure 3-5.
Use Front and Rear Mounting Brackets to Install a Switch
Only the Switch 4210G PWR 24-Port and Switch 4210G PWR 48-Port support installation using front mounting brackets together with rear mounting brackets.
Follow these steps to install a switch into a 19-inch standard cabinet:
Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and ensure a good skin contact and grounding. Step2 Check the grounding and stability of the cabinet.
Step3 Take out the screws which are packed together with the front mounting brackets, and fix one end of mounting brackets to the switch, as shown in Figure 3-4.
Step4 Take out the load-bearing screws (packed together with the rear mounting brackets) and place them in a proper position on the sides of the switch, as shown in Figure 3-6.

There are three positions to mount a load-bearing screw on both sides of a switch. You should select a proper position according to the actual requirements. The rear mounting brackets tightly contacted with the load-bearing screws can support the switch.
Step5 Select a position to install the switch and fix the rear mounting brackets to the rear posts with screws and captive nuts, as shown in Figure 3-7.
