Note Figure 3-2illustrates how to attach the front of the switch to the rack. You can also attach the rear of the switch to the rack, depending on the configuration of your rack.

Step 2 Note that the L brackets connect the chassis to the rack. You can mount the

L brackets to the front or rear mounting holes of the chassis, depending on which end is in the front of the rack.

Note Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the rear posts. If the 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.

Attach the left and right L brackets using the M4 Phillips flat-head screws provided in the rack-mount kit. (See Figure 3-2.)
