b. Repeat with the other slider rail o n the other side of the rack. To make sure that the slide r rails
are at the same level, you should use a level tool, tape measure, or carefully count the screw
holes in the vertical mounting rails.
c. Tighten 10-32 screws to 20 in-lb (2.26 N m) and tighten 12-24 screws to 30 in-lb (3.39 Nm).
d. Repeat Steps 3a, 3b, and 3c to attach the other slider rail.
Step 4 Insert the switch into the r ack and attach it as follows:
a. Holding the switch with both hands, position the two mount rails on the switch between the rack
or cabinet posts that do n ot have slider rails attached to them.
b. Align the two rear rack-mount guides on either side of the switch with the slider rails installed
in the rack. Slide the rack-m ount guides onto the slider rai ls, and then gently slide the s witch
all the way into the rack until the front-mount brac kets come in contact with two rack or cabinet
posts. See Figure 2-4.
Note If the switch does not slide easily, try realigning the rack-mount guides on the slider rails.
