Use the following procedure to install the console switch horizontally in 1U of EIA
rack mounting space in your rack cabinet:
1. Refer to the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for additional

Notes:
a. Removing the rack doors and side panels might make your console switch
installation easier.
b. Use cage nuts for rack cabinets with square holes, or clip nuts for rack
cabinets with round holes.

2. Attach one horizontal mounting bracket to each side of the console switch
using two 8-32 screws per bracket. Make sure that the notched hole on the
bracket is toward the bottom of the console switch.
Note: There are two sets of mounting holes on the brackets. You can install
the console switch even with the EIA mounting flanges of the rack
cabinet or recessed, depending on how you install the brackets.
