The rack-mount kit provided with the switch contains the items listed in Table 2-1. If you do not find all of the parts listed in Table 2-1, you may have an older version of the rack-mount kit, which only included the front rack-mount brackets. If this is the case, you can either install the switch in the rack with just the front rack-mount brackets, or contact your customer service representative for a current version of the rack-mount kit.

Note If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you purchased support directly from Cisco, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml

Installing Front Rack-Mount Brackets for Cabinets with 26 Inches or Greater of Rail Spacings

Before installing the switch into the cabinet, the front rack-mount brackets for the Cisco MDS 9200 Series must be installed onto the switch. To install the brackets for cabinets with front-mounting rail to rear-mounting rail spacing greater than or equal to 26 inches, follow these steps.

Step 1 Install the front rack-mount brackets as follows:

a.Position a front rack-mount bracket against the chassis and align the screw holes as shown in Figure 2-7. Then attach the front rack-mount bracket to the chassis with six of the M4 screws.

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