Installing the Switch
This section describes how to use the rack mount kit to install the switch into a cabinet or rack that meets the
requirements described in the Cabinet and Rack Requirements section.
Installing the Switch in a 4-Post Rack
To install the switch, you must attach the front and rear mounting guides to the switch, install the slider rails
