EIA Rackmount Kit

The PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch EIA Rackmount kit contains the
following components:

• One Mounting Shelf

• Two adjustable Rear Mounting brackets for rear rail attachment

• Four Phillips-head 10-32 x .38 long screws with integral lock washers

• Eight Phillips-head 12-24 x.50 long screws for front and rear rail attachment

• Three longer #6 screws

When Checking the
EIA Rackmount Kit

Be aware of the following issues when checking the components of your rackmount
kit:

• The Mounting Shelf and adjustable Rear Mounting brackets ship fastened

together at the Mounting bracket’s front-most adjustment hole. This prevents
damage during shipping. Disassemble these components prior to installation.

• The four Phillips-head 10-32 x .38 long screws ship in holes securing the

Mounting Shelf to the Rear Mounting brackets. Remove them to separate the
shelf and brackets.

• The eight Phillips-head 12-24 x .50 long screws ship in a small plastic bag.
