Mounting the Switch in a Rack
The switch ships with two (2) multi-position mounting ears and four (4) 
mounting screws. 
Figure 2.1 shows the orientation of the mounting ears for attaching the

front panel facing forward. Do the following:

screws. Repeat this step for the other side of the switch.
2.
Slide the switch into the rack and align the holes in the rack mounting 
ears with the holes in the rack rails.
3.
Insert and tighten appropriate rack-mounting screws (not provided).
