N o t e

The 12-24 screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for standard EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks. If you are installing the switch in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came with the cabinet in place of the 12-24 screws that are supplied with the switch.

Complete step 1, and plan which four holes you will be using in the cabinet and install all four clips. Then proceed to step 2.

The mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can be rotated

 

allowing for a wide variety of mounting options. These include mounting the

 

switch so its front face is flush with the face of the rack, or mounting it in a

 

more balanced position as shown in the illustration.
