Step 4 Install floating nuts on the mounting rails of the cabinet.
Determine the installation position of the switch and use a flat-head screwdriver to install two
floating nuts on each front mounting rail accordingly. Leave a gap of one mounting hole
between the two floating nuts and ensure that they are level with those on the other rail.
NOTE
Pay attention to the scale markings on the mounting rails because three adjacent mounting holes may not
be 1 U.
Step 5 Install the switch in the cabinet. The methods for installing switches that use different front
mounting brackets are the same. Figure 5-2 shows an example.
1. Hold the bottom of the switch and align the holes on the front mounting brackets with
the floating nuts on the front mounting rails.
2. Secure the mounting brackets to the mounting rails with M6 screws (two on each side)
using a Phillips screwdriver.
