Rack-mounting the switch

This task requires two people. To mount the switch in the rack:

  1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.

  2. Verify that the mounting brackets have been securely attached to the switch chassis.

  3. Install cage nuts in the mounting holes in the rack posts.

  4. One person holds the switch chassis and aligns the mounting brackets with the mounting holes in the rack posts, and the other person attaches the mounting brackets with screws (user-supplied) to the rack.

  5. Verify that the switch chassis is horizontal and secure.
