Rack-mounted switch for shipment
Before you install the Z9264F-ON switch in a rack that you intend to ship, you must rst remove the tool-less feature from each end of
both Dell EMC rack rails.
CAUTION: Use two people, an equipment lift, or pallet jack when lifting or moving the chassis. Install the chassis into the rack
before inserting the chassis components. Lift the chassis only from the bottom. Lifting by the chassis shelves or power supply
openings might damage the chassis.
NOTE: For more installation instructions, see the installation labels attached to the rail assembly.
You will need eight user-supplied rack rail screws to complete this procedure.
To install a switch in a rack that you intend to ship:
1 Separate each rail assembly by sliding the inside rail out of the outside rail.
2 Unscrew the tool-less feature pins from each end of both rack rails.
Use a standard slotted screw driver to remove the tool-less feature pins.
In this illustration, the tool-less feature pins are on the right side of the rail and the tool-less feature is on the left side of the rail.

3 Pull on the tool-less features to remove them from the rack rails.
4 Mount the rack rails directly to the front and back of the rack using two screws and clip nuts at the four mounting points.
5 Attach the inner switch rails to the switch.
Line up the rail with the mounting heads and attach the rail to the switch. For more information, see2RU front-rack installation.
6 Align the switch rails with the rack rails and slide the switch into the rack until it is ush with the front of the rack.
7 Tighten the screws on the rails to secure the switch in the rack, if needed.
To install the switch in a rack you do not intend to ship, see Four-post rack mount.
