Installing the Switch in a Rack
Note Figure 2-1 to Figure 2-14 show the Catalyst 2950-24, 2950G-24-EI-DC, and
2950G-48-EI switches as examples. You can install other Catalyst 2950
switches in a rack as shown in these illustrations.
To install the switch in a 19-, 23-, or 24-inch rack, follow these steps:
• Attaching the brackets to the switch
• Mounting the switch in a rack
• Attaching the optional cable guide
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 of the 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.
