Note

Installing the switch in a 24-inch rack requires an optional bracket kit that is not included with the
switch. You can order a kit containing the 24-inch rack-mounting brackets and hardware from Cisco.
The kit part number is RCKMNT-1RU= (700-12398-XX).

Removing Screws from the Switch

If you plan to install the switch in a rack, you must first remove the screws in the switch chassis so that
you can attach the mounting brackets.
