Installing the Switch in a Rack
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you
must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The
following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
The supplied rack-mounting brackets can be attached to a 19-, 23-, or 24-inch
rack.
Figure 2-1 shows which mounting holes to use.
Note Figure 2-1 shows brackets for two-rack-unit modular switches. Rack-mount
points are similar on brackets for one-rack-unit switches.
