Installing the Switch in a Rack
Mounting the Switch in a Rack
After attaching the brackets, use the four Phillips machine screws to securely
attach the brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 2-16.
To prevent the cables from obscuring the switch and other devices in the rack, you
can also attach the cable guide to the rack. See the“Attaching the Optional Cable
Guide” section for instructions.
Figure 2-16 Mounting the Switch in a Rack
After mounting the switch in the rack, start the terminal-emulation software, and
provide power to the switch. See the “Powering On the Switch” section on
page 2-22 for instructions.
Attaching the Optional Cable Guide
We recommend attaching the cable guide to prevent the cables from obscuring the
front panels of the switch and other devices installed in the rack. Use the supplied
black Phillips machine screw to attach the cable guide to the left or right bracket,
as shown in Figure 2-17.
