When you are ready to install the Switch 7750 in the cabinet:

move the switch.
2 Put the switch on the tray or the guides and push it into the cabinet.
3 Fix the switch in the cabinet with the combination screw and floating nuts that are
shipped with the switch.
Installing on a
Workbench
To install the switch on a workbench, take the following precautions:
■ Ensure that the workbench is smooth and stable.
■ Leave a heat-dissipation clearance in the front and back of the switch of more
than 1 m (3 ft) and at least 0.8 meters (2.5 ft) away from the walls on the sides.
■ Do not put heavy objects on the switch.
Installing the Cabling
