Installing the Stabilizer Kit
Note The stabilizer kit is included only in the accessory kits for the Catalyst 6509-NEB,
Catalyst 6509-NEB-A, and the Catalyst 6513 switches.
If you are not installing a Catalyst 6509-NEB, Catalyst 6509-NEB-A, or Catalyst 6513 switch in a rack,
you must install stabilizer brackets to the bottom of the chassis. The stabilizer brackets reduce the
possibility that the freestanding switch chassis will tip over.
Open the stabilizer kit package, and use the kit contents list in Table 3-2 to verify that all parts are
included.
Note You will need the assistance of a second person to perform this installation.
