Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Connection

This section lists the rack mounting requirements and precautions and describes the 
installation steps. 

• Two mounting brackets.
• Eight M3 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
• Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver. 

Note: Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit. 

• Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it 

contains.

• Make sure the position of the switch does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take 

all necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.

1 Position a mounting bracket on one side of the switch, lining up the four screw holes on 

the bracket with the screw holes on the side of the switch.
