Note Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the rear posts. If your rack has this feature, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points. Before installing the L brackets on the chassis, determine whether to install the chassis from the front or the rear of the rack.

Step 2 Install the L brackets, which connect the chassis to the rack, as follows:

a.Remove the screws from the front of the switch side-cover panels.

b.Attach the left and right L brackets using the six M4 Phillips pan-head screws (three screws per side) provided in the rack-mount kit.
