To install the switch in a rack using the Rack Mount
Kit:
1. Place the switch on a flat surface and attach each
inner rail to the switch using three flat-head
screws. See Figure 2 (page 3).
The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate
the left side and right side of the switch as viewed
from its nonport side.
Figure 2 Attaching the inner rails to the switch
2. Take care to select a mounting location in the rack
such that the cutouts in the sides of each rail are
not obstructed. You will route the switch power
cords through these holes later in this procedure.
3. Attach each rear mounting bracket to a rear rack
upright column using two Phillips screws and
adapter washers. See Figure 3 (page 3).

4. Attach each outer rail as shown in Figure 4 (page
3).
The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate
the left side and right side of the rack as viewed
from the front of the cabinet.
a. Slide the rail over the rear mounting bracket.
b. Attach the front of the rail to a front rack
upright column using two Phillips screws and
adapter washers.
c. Attach the outer rail to the rear mounting
brackets using a Phillips screw.
TIP: Tighten the rear screws just enough
for the end of the screw to go through the
rear bracket. Later in the procedure, you
will need room to slide the inner rail
between the screw head and the outer
bracket.
