Remove the Switch from the Rack
To remove or reposition a switch after you have mounted it in a rack, follow these steps.
These procedures assume that you have attached the switch to the rack as described in
Installing a Switch on page 45.
1. Support the switch while you remove the rack-mounting screws that hold the front
mounting brackets in place against the rack posts.
2. Remove the switch from the rack.
• For two-post installations, carefully slide the switch out of the rack.
• For four-post installations, carefully slide the switch forward out of the cabinet
and off the rear mounting brackets.
