To rack-mount the Cisco SFS 7000P switch in a rack, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the switch, rack brackets, CD-ROM, parts bag, and documentation from the box.

Step 2 Place the switch on a secure, clean surface.

Step 3 Open the plastic bag containing mounting parts.

Step 4 Check the slot in the rack for sufficient clearance.

•Installing the Switch with One Person, page 2-6

•Installing the Switch with Two People, page 2-11

Installing the Switch with One Person

The following method of installation is easier with two people, but can be accomplished with one person. It can be difficult for only one person to align the switch correctly along the rack rails.

To install the switch with one person, follow these steps:

Step 1 Separate one set of the rack brackets (see Figure 2-2).

Each side is assembled to its counterpart, but should be separated before attaching to the switch when you use this method of installation.
