4 Cisco 300 Series Managed Switches
Rack-Mount Placement
STEP 1 Remove the four screws from each side near the front of the switch. 
Retain the screws for re-installation. (Do not remove the four screws 
from each side near the back of the switch.)
STEP 2 Place one of the supplied spacers on the side of the switch so the 
four holes of the spacers align to the screw holes. Place a rack 
mount bracket next to the spacer and reinstall the four screws 
removed in Step 1.
NOTE  If your screws are not long enough to reattach the bracket 
with the spacer in place, attach the bracket directly to the case 
without the spacer.
STEP 3 Repeat Step 2 for the other side of the switch.
STEP 4 After the mounting hardware has been securely attached, the 
switch is now ready to be installed into a standard 19-inch rack.
CAUTION For stability, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the 
heaviest devices on the bottom. A top-heavy rack is likely to 
be unstable and may tip over.
Wall Mounting
Only the 8-port models of the switch can be wall-mounted.
NOTE  The switch should be mounted so that the ports face up or down. 
Do not mount the switch with the ports to the side.
