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

Tip If the chassis exceeds the 1-RU space on the low side of the rack, you may have difficulty installing other equipment. In this situation, loosen the screws on the front and back rails of the chassis and raise it to the top of the RU space by pushing the chassis up until it cannot go any further. Then retighten the screws while keeping the chassis in the elevated position.
