Step 5 Position a person at each side of the chassis and one at the mechanical lift. Place the chassis on the lift by lifting on the top front of rear of the chassis.

Step 6 Using the mechanical lift, lift the chassis up onto the rack-mount support brackets.

Step 7 Place the rear of the chassis on the rack-mount support brackets between the front mounting rails. Step 8 Manually slide the chassis into the rack until it rests on the crossbar and the side rack-mount brackets.

Step 9 If you are installing the optional cable management brackets, place the cable management brackets in front of the right rack-mount brackets. Align the holes in the cable management brackets with the holes in the front rack-mount brackets on the right and mounting rails, and then insert the screws.

Step 10 Align the holes in the front rack-mount bracket with the holes in the mounting rails and insert the 12-24 x 3/4-inch or 10-32 x 3/4-inch screws, using six screws per side. (See Figure 2-4.)

Note Use a minimum of six screws to ensure that the switch is adequately supported.
