Removing a Mid-Mounted Switch from a Two-Post Rack
Removing a mid-mounted Summit X480 switch from a rack requires two people to maneuver the switch
and disconnect the mounting hardware.
To remove a mid-mounted Summit X480 series switch from a two-post rack:
1 Verify that the power supplies have been removed from the switch.
2 At the front of the equipment rack, support the switch while you remove the rack-mounting screws
holding the front mounting brackets in place against the rack post (Figure 329).

3 Remove the screws holding the front mounting brackets to the sides of the switch, and set the
mounting brackets aside.
4 Support the front and back of the switch as you slide the switch back, off the rear mounting
brackets, and out of the rack (Figure 330).
Set the switch on a secure work surface.
