Installing the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch

Note The least amount of protrusion for the adjustable brackets must be 1/2 inch beyond the inside end of the

guide rail. The adjustable bracket should always be fully supported by the guide rails.

Installing with the Data Connection Cables Flush-front

To install the CiscoSFS 3504 Server Switch on a rack so that the data connection cables are flush-front

on the rack posts, perform the following steps:

Step1 Open the bag that contains the mounting hardware.

Note To mount a CiscoSFS 3504 Server Switch on a rack, use eight screws and eight rack nuts. These

must be supplied by the customer, based upon the compatibility of the screws and nuts with the

specific racks.

Step2 Remove the two guide rails that are attached to either side of the CiscoSFS 3504 Server Switch at the

data-connection end, and attach the guide rails similarly at the power-fan modules end. (See Figure3.)

Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the guide rails, and secure them at the new locations with the

screws that you just removed.
