Getting Started Guide

 

CAUTION: 

Disconnect all cables from the switch before continuing. Remove all 

self-adhesive pads from the underside of the switch, if they have been attached.

 

CAUTION: 

When mounting multiple switches into a rack, mount the switches 

from the bottom up.

1

Place the supplied rack-mounting bracket on one side of the switch, 
ensuring that the mounting holes on the switch line up to the mounting 
holes in the rack-mounting bracket. Figure 1-7 illustrates where to mount 
the brackets.

Attaching the Brackets

2

Insert the supplied bolts into the rack-mounting holes and tighten with a 
screwdriver. 

3

Repeat the process for the rack-mounting bracket on the other side of the 
switch.

4

Insert the switch into the 48.26 cm (19 inch) rack, ensuring that the rack-
mounting holes on the switch line up to the mounting holes in the rack.

5

Secure the switch to the rack with either the rack bolts or cage nuts and 
cage-nut bolts with washers (depending on the kind of rack you have). 
Fasten the bolts on bottom before fastening the bolts on top. 

 

CAUTION: 

Make sure that the supplied rack bolts fit the pre-threaded holes in the 

rack.

 

NOTE: 

Make sure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.
