Installing the Switch
Rack-Mounting the SwitchUse six 10-32 x 3/4-inch or 12-24x 3/4-inch Phillips machine screws to attach the L brackets to the
rack. (See Figure 5.)
Figure5 Rack-Mounting the Switch
Desktop-Mounting (Optional)If you are installing the ME6524 chassis as a free-standing unit instead of rack-mounting the chassis,
you need to install the four rubber feet that shipped with the chassis. To install the four rubber feet,
follow these steps:
Step1 Place the switch chassis upside down on a flat surface.
Step2 Attach the four adhesive-backed rubber pads (included in the accessory kit) to the recessed areas on the
bottom of the switch chassis. (See Figure 6.)
Step3 Place the switch chassis right-side up and position the chassis as close as possible to where the DC
source and the system ground are located.
