3.1  Mount a Switch 
3.1.1  Rack-mount the Switch on 19-Inch Rack 
A switch can be mounted in a 19-inch standard rack and the mounting procedure is 
described below: 
Step 1: Check grounding and stability of the cabinet.  Fix the mounting braces at 
both sides of the front panel of the switch with screws. 
Step 2: Place the switch on a shelf in the cabinet. Depending on the actual situation, 
slide the switch along the guides of the cabinet to an appropriate position. Ensure 
there is proper room between the switch and the guides. 
Step 3: Use screws to fix the angle irons on the fixing guides at both sides of the 
cabinet. Make sure that the switch is securely fixed in the cabinet by the shelf on 
each slot and the angle irons.
