Rack or cabinet mounting
The switches are designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-inch telco rack or communication
equipment cabinet. Note that the mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can be rotated
allowing for a wide variety of mounting options.
WARNING:
For safe operation, please read Installation precautions on page 14 before mounting the switch.
NOTE:
The screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for standard EIA/TIA open 19-inch
racks. If you are installing the switch in an equipment cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips
and screws that came with the cabinet in place of the screws that are supplied with the switch.
Complete the following step 1 to attach brackets to the switch. Then, plan which four holes you will
be using in the cabinet and install all four clips. Then proceed to step 2 to install the switch in the
cabinet.
Procedure
1. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and attach the mounting brackets to the switch with the
included 8-mm M4 screws.

face of the rack, as shown in the illustration.
2. Hold the switch with attached brackets in the rack and move it vertically until rack holes line up with
the bracket holes, then insert and tighten the four 12-24 screws holding the brackets to the rack.
