3 After the rack-mount flanges are secured to the chassis, mark the holes on the rack where the switch is 
to be installed.
4 Lift and position the switch until the rack-mount flanges are flush with the rack post.
5 Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes that were marked in step 3.
6 Once the holes are aligned, insert a rack mount screw (not provided) through the bottom hole of each 
flange. Tighten both screws until they are secure.
Attaching the Switch to the Rack
Note. Be sure to install the screws in the bottom hole of each flange, as shown, before proceeding.
7 Once the screws at the bottom of each flange are secure, install the remaining two rack mount screws. 
Be sure that all screws are securely tightened.
Note. If you are installing multiple switches in a rack to form a stacked configuration, refer to “Setting Up 
a Stacked Configuration” on page 2-38.
