3 After the rack-mount flanges are secured to the chas-
sis, mark the holes on the rack where the switch is to be
installed.
4 Lift and position the switch until the rack-mount
flanges are flush with the rack post.
5 Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes that
were marked in step 3.
6 Once the holes are aligned, insert a rack-mount screw
(not provided) through the bottom hole of each flange.
Tighten both screws until they are secure.
Attaching the Switch to the Rack
Note. Be sure to install the screws in the bottom hole of
each flange, as shown, before proceeding.
7 Once the screws at the bottom of each flange are
secure, install the remaining two rack-mount screws. Be
sure that all screws are securely tightened.
8 If you are installing multiple switches in a rack to form
a stacked configuration, repeat steps 1 through 7 for all
switches in the stack.
Note. When rack mounting multiple switches in a stacked
configuration, be sure to place all switches in vertically-
adjacent rack positions. This will ensure that all required
stacking cables will have adequate length for the installa-
tion.
