Step	3.	Orient the rails so that End-A faces the back of the rack and aligns with the front end of
		the switch with flanges.
Step	4.	Loosen the wing nuts on each rail and adjust the length of each rail to fit the length of
		the rack. End A mounts inside the rack column, and End-B mounts outside the rack
		column.
Step	5.	Tighten the wing nuts on each rail after you have adjusted the length properly.
Step	6.	Install and secure the rails in the rack, using two screws per rail. Do not secure End-A.
		To secure End-B, complete the following steps:

1.If you have square-hole racks, affix two cage nuts inside each rack column. Align these cage nuts with the two holes in End-B of each rail. Secure the assembly with two screws in End-B of each rail.

2.If you have round-hole racks, affix two clip nuts to each rack column. Align these clip nuts with the two holes in End-B of each rail. Secure the assembly with two screws in End-B of each rail.

Step 7. To install the switch, complete the following steps:

1.Orient the front end of the switch (the end with the flanges) toward the back of the rack.

2.Place the switch on the rails and slide it in to the rack until the flanges are snug against the outside of the rack columns.
