The L brackets connect the switch chassis to the rack. You can mount the
L brackets to the front- or rear-mounting holes of the chassis, depending on which
end is in the front of the rack.
Note The Catalyst 2948G switch is shown in the rack-mounting illustrations.
The rack-mounting procedure for the Catalyst 2980G switch is the same.
Figure 3-1 Attaching the L Brackets
Step 3
Figure 3-2 shows how to attach the front of the switch to the rack. You can also
attach the rear of the switch to the rack, depending on the configuration of your
rack.
Install the chassis in the rack as follows:
a. Position the switch chassis in the rack (see Figure 3-2):
• If the chassis front panel is to be in the front of the rack, insert the rear
of the chassis between the mounting posts.
• If the rear of the chassis is to be in the front of the rack, insert the front
of the chassis between the mounting posts.
b. Align the mounting holes in the L bracket with the mounting holes in the
equipment rack.
c. Secure the chassis using six 12-24 x 3/4-inch screws (three per side) through
the elongated holes in the L bracket and into the threaded holes in the
mounting post.
d. Use the tape measure and level to ensure that the chassis is installed straight
and level.
