Installing the Rack-Mount Kit
This rack-mounting kit is not suitable for use with racks that have obstructions (such as power strips)
because the obstructions could impair access to switch field-replaceable units (FRUs).
Required Tools
These tools and equipment are required to install the rack-mount kit:
• Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers
• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Tape measure and level
Installing the Shelf Brackets and Crossbar Bracket
Note The shelf brackets and crossbar bracket are included as part of the accessory kit for the Catalyst 6506,
Catalyst 6506-E, Catalyst 6509, Catalyst 6509-E, and Catalyst 6513 switch chassis only.
To install the shelf bracket and crossbar bracket, follow these steps:
Step 1 Position one of the two shelf brackets in the rack as shown in Figure 3-1.
Step 2 Secure the shelf bracket to the rack by using three 12-24 x 3/4-inch or
10-32 x 3/4-inch screws.
Step 3 Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the second shelf bracket. Make sure that the second shelf bracket is level with
the first bracket.
Step 4 Attach the crossbar bracket to the back of the shelf brackets using two M3 screws as shown in Figure 3-2.
