Installing the Switch in a Rack
To install the switch in a 19-, 23-, or 24-inch rack, follow these steps:
1. Attaching the Brackets to the Switch, page 3-11
2. Mounting the Switch in a Rack, page 3-21
3. Attaching the Optional Cable Guide, page 3-22
Note Installing the Catalyst 2950G-48-EI switch in a 23-inch or 24-inch rack requires
an optional bracket kit not included with the switch. You can order a kit
containing the 23-inch or 24-inch rack-mounting brackets and hardware from
Cisco (part number RCKMNT-1RU=).
Attaching the Brackets to the Switch
The bracket orientation and the screws that you use depend on whether you are
attaching the brackets to a 19-, 23-, or 24-inch rack. Follow these guidelines:
• When mounting a switch other than a Catalyst 2950G-48-EI switch in a
19-inch rack, use two Phillips flat-head screws to attach the long side of the
19- or 24-inch bracket to the switch. See Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2, and
Figure 3-3.
• When mounting a Catalyst 2950G-48-EI switch in a 19-inch rack, use three
Phillips flat-head screws to attach the long side of the 19- or 24-inch bracket
to the switch. See Figure 3-4, Figure 3-5, and Figure 3-6.
• When mounting a Catalyst 2950G-24-EI-DC or Catalyst 2950ST-24
LRE 997 switch in a 23-inch rack, use two Phillips truss-head screws to
attach the 23-inch bracket to the switch. See Figure 3-7, Figure 3-8, and
Figure 3-9.
• When mounting a switch other than a Catalyst 2950G-48-EI switch in a
24-inch rack, use two Phillips truss-head screws to attach the 19- or 24-inch
bracket to the switch. See Figure 3-10, Figure 3-11, and Figure 3-12.
• When mounting a Catalyst 2950G-48-EI switch in a 24-inch rack, use three
Phillips flat-head screws to attach the 24-inch bracket (part number
RCKMNT-1RU=) to the switch. See Figure 3-13, Figure 3-14, and
Figure 3-15.
