To install the switch in a 19-, 23-, or 24-inch rack, follow these steps:
• Attaching the Brackets to the Switch, page 2-10
• Mounting the Switch in a Rack, page 2-19
• Attaching the Optional Cable Guide, page 2-19
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 2-1, Figure 2-2, and
Figure 2-3.
• 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 2-4, Figure 2-5, and Figure 2-6.
• When mounting a Catalyst 2950G-24-EI-DC switch in a 23-inch rack, use
two Phillips truss-head screws to attach the 23-inch bracket to the switch. See
Figure 2-7, Figure 2-8, and Figure 2-9.
• 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 2-10, Figure 2-11, and Figure 2-12.
• 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 2-13, Figure 2-14, and
Figure 2-15.
Figure 2-1 to Figure 2-15 show how to attach a bracket to one side of the switch.
Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side of the
switch.
