Figure 2-1. Console Switch Horizontal Installation
CAUTION: Rack Loading - Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure,
causing damage to equipment and possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location
before loading begins. Mount components beginning at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do
not exceed your rack load rating.
To install the 1U switch mounting bracket:
1
Remove the screws on each side.
2
Line up the holes in the “long side” of the kit’s side brackets with the screw holes in the
switch.
3
With a Phillips screwdriver, fasten the mounting brackets to the switch using two screws on
each side.
4
Attach four cage nuts or clip nuts to the rack mounting flange of the rack cabinet so that the
nut is positioned on the inside of the rack.
5
Mount the switch assembly to the rack cabinet by matching the holes in the “short side” of
each bracket to an appropriate set of matching holes on your rack cabinet. Next, insert the
combination hex head screws through the slots in the bracket and the holes in the mounting
rail, then into the cage nuts or clip nuts.
Installing the Console Switch
Plug the supplied power cord into the back of the appliance and then into an appropriate power
source. Figure 2-2 illustrates one possible configuration for your Console Switch. See the following
