Figure 11 Mid-Mount Brackets
Each S2500 should have its own mounting equipment. Do not place other networking equipment directly on top a
mounted S2500. Failure to do so can result in damage to the device.
Some racks require screws that differ from those included with the S2500. Confirm that you have the correct
screws before installing your S2500.
