CAUTION Power Considerations: Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, assure the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present fire and shock hazards.

To install the switch mounting bracket:

1.Line up the holes in the “long side” of the kit’s side brackets with the screw holes in the switch.

2.With an Allen wrench, fasten the mounting brackets to the switch using two #8-32 button head socket cap screws on each side.

3.Attach the six rack nut/holders to the mounting rail of the rack so that the nut is positioned on the inside of the rack.

4.Mount the switch assembly to the rack by matching the holes in the “short side” of each bracket to an appropriate set of matching holes on your equipment rack, then inserting #10-32 Phillips screws through the slots in the bracket and the holes in the mounting rail and then into the rack/nut holders.
