Chapter 3 Installing the Switches
Rack-Mounting the Switches
The MAC address and GUID number are available on sticker labels placed on top of the switch.
Step 4 Check the slot in the rack for sufficient clearance.
Step 5 Determine the desired method of installation, and follow the appropriate steps:
• Installing the Switch with One Person, page 3-4
• Installing the Switch with Two People, page 3-6
Installing the Switch with One Person
Because it can be difficult for one person to align the switch correctly along both rack rails, the following
installation method is easier with two people but can be accomplished with one person.
To install the switch with one person, follow these steps:
Step 1 Separate one set of the rack brackets. (See Figure 3-1.)
Each side is assembled to its counterpart but should be separated before you attach them to the switch
when you use this installation method.

Step 2
Attach the bracket that has the screw holes to the side of the switch, with the flange facing away from
the switch, as shown in Figure 3-2.

The standard method is to face the flange toward the front of the switch. However, you can also mount
the flange toward the back if you want to mount the switch backward in the switch (service-side
forward), as shown in Figure 3-2.
Step 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 on the opposite side of the switch to attach the second bracket.
The two counterparts to these sliding rack brackets (that do not have screw holes) should still be
unattached.
