Installing the Switch
Removing the Screws from the Switch
If you plan to install the switch in a rack, you must first remove the front side
screws in the switch chassis so that the mounting brackets can be attached.
Figure 2-1 shows how to remove a chassis screw from a Catalyst 3550 switch.
Figure 2-1 Removing Screws from the Catalyst 3550 Switch
Attaching the Brackets to the Switch
The bracket orientation and the brackets you use depend on whether you are
attaching the brackets for a 19-inch or a 24-inch rack. For 19-inch racks, use
bracket part number 700-11523-01; for 24-inch racks, use bracket part number
700-12398-01. Figure 2-2, Figure 2-3, and Figure 2-4 show how to attach each
type bracket to one side of the switch. Follow the same steps to attach the second
bracket to the opposite side.
