Preparation and Unpacking

Follow these steps to install the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch in an 
equipment rack:

Remove the plastic pedestal base 
that is attached to the PathBuilder 
S24x, 26x, and 27x switch. 

The base is attached by four 
Phillips-head screws coming up 
from the bottom, as shown in 
Figure 2-2.

Insert the Mounting Shelf to the 
desired location in the equipment 
rack and secure it to the front using 
four 12-24 x .50 long screws.

See Figure 2-3, A.

Fasten the adjustable Rear 
Mounting brackets at each side of 
the rear of the equipment rack. Use 
the remaining four 12-24 x.50 long 
screws. 

See Figure 2-3, B.

When installed correctly, the Rear 
Mounting brackets are on the 
outside of the mounting shelf. 

Bolt the Mounting Shelf to the 
Rear Mounting brackets using the 
four 10-32 x .38 long screws, two 
to each side. 

To do this, insert the screws from 
inside the equipment rack, through 
the Mounting Shelf slot, and 
through the appropriate adjustment 
hole in the Rear Mounting bracket.

See Figure 2-3, C.

Facing the front panel, carefully tip 
the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x 
switch horizontally to your right. 
Insert the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, 
and 27x switch into the equipment 
rack, leaving enough room at the 
rear to remove the three case-
fastening screws along the new 
“bottom” of the unit.

See Figure 2-4.
