Rack-Mounting the Switch
To rack-mount the Cisco SFS 7000P switch in a rack, follow these steps:
Step1 Remove the switch, rack brackets, CD-ROM, parts bag, and documentation from
the box.
Step2 Place the switch on a secure, clean surface.
Step3 Open the plastic bag containing mounting parts.
Step4 Check the slot in the rack for sufficient clearance.
Step5 Determine the desired method of installation:
•Installing the Switch with One Person, page2-6
•Installing the Switch with Two People, page2-11

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:
Step1 Separate one set of the rack brackets (see Figure2-2).
Each side is assembled to its counterpart, but should be separated before attaching
to the switch when you use this method of installation.
