Insert the screws provided in the rack mount kit through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch. Tighten the screws with a #1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack and insert two pan-head screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack.
