Attention: Refer to “Rack safety” on page xx for danger and caution notices
related to rack and cabinet installations.
You can install the rack mount kit in either of two ways:
v To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the
cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of
the cabinet.
v To allow the non-port side of the switch to slide out the cool-air side of the
cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 7.62 cm (3 in.) back
from the edge of the cabinet, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic
cables.
Time required
Approximately 30 minutes
Items required
You need the following items to install the switch in a slide-rail rack:
