3 After the rack-mount flanges are secured to the chassis, mark the holes on the rack where the switch is 
to be installed.

4 Lift and position the switch until the rack-mount flanges are flush with the rack post.

5 Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes that were marked in step 3.

6 Once the holes are aligned, insert a rack mount screw (not provided) through the bottom hole of each 
flange. Tighten both screws until they are secure.

Be sure to install the screws in the bottom hole of each flange, as shown, before proceeding.

7 Once the screws at the bottom of each flange are secure, install the remaining two rack mount screws. 
Be sure that all screws are securely tightened.

Note. If you are installing multiple switches in a rack to form a stacked configuration, refer to 

.

OmniSwitch 6850 Series switches offer four Gigabit Ethernet combo ports, located on the front panel (see

 

). These combo ports support hot-swappable fiber Small Form-Factor Pluggables (SFPs). For 

instructions on installing and removing combo connector SFPs, refer to the OmniSwitch Transceivers 
Guide.

Combo port preferences are user-configurable via the system software. Refer to the “Configuring 

Ethernet” in the OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide for complete details.
