Installing the System in a Distribution Rack

You can mount the system into a 19-inch distribution rack. This section describes how to prepare the system and distribution rack for installation and how to mount the system in the rack.

Install your distribution rack near an easily accessible power outlet. You can power down the system only by removing the power cord from the power source.

Preparing the System and Rack

To prepare the system and distribution rack for installing the Switch 3900 system:

1See Appendix B for distribution rack requirements.

2Attach the mounting brackets to the left and right sides of the system using the M4 x 10 mounting bracket screws. See Figure 2-2.
