Two customer supplied 12-24 or 10-32 screws used to attach each slider rail to the rack

Step 4 Insert the switch into the rack and attach it as follows:

a.Using both hands, position the switch with the back of the switch between the front posts of the rack.

b.Align the two rack-mount guides on either side of the switch with the slider rails installed in the rack. Slide the rack-mount guides onto the slider rails, and then gently slide the switch all the way into the rack. If the switch does not slide easily, try realigning the rack-mount guides on the slider rails.

Step 5 Stabilize the switch in the rack by attaching the front rack-mount brackets to the front rack-mounting rails:

a.Insert two screws (12-24 or 10-32, depending on the rack type) through the cage nuts and the holes in one of the front rack-mount brackets and into the threaded holes in the rack-mounting rail.

b.Repeat for the front rack-mount bracket on the other side of the switch.
