General Rack-Mounting Guidelines
If you will be rack-mounting your switch(es), refer to the important guidelines below before installing.
• It is recommended that two people install the switch assembly on the rack—one person to hold the 
chassis and position it on the rack, and a second person to secure the chassis to the rack using 
attachment screws. (Please note that Alcatel-Lucent does not provide rack-mount screws. Use the 
screws supplied by the rack vendor.)
• To prevent a rack from becoming top heavy, it is recommended that you install heavier equipment at 
the bottom of the rack, whenever possible.
• Review page 4-2 for recommended chassis clearances before installing.
• If you are installing the switch on a relay rack, be sure to install and secure the rack per the rack 
manufacturer’s specifications.
