3800/5800 Series Fibre Channel Switch Rack Mounting Guide

Install Switch Rails

Install the switch rails on the switch using two screws to secure each rail. The switch can be mounted flush or with a 1.25 inch setback depending on how you match the holes.

Install Rack Rails

Decide which direction you want the switch ports to face: toward the front or toward the rear of the rack. The following instructions show a rear- facing installation.

Extend the rack rails to fit the inner dimensions of the rack. The rail flanges on both ends fit inside the rack. Be sure that the inner rail is toward the rear of the rack.

NOTE:

If the rack holes are square, use a centering washer with each screw.

Fasten the rail flanges to the rack at both ends with two screws using the upper and lower holes.

Install the Switch

1.Slide the switch and rail assembly into the rack rails.

2.Fasten the switch to the rack with two screws: one through each switch rail flange.
