5. With four people pushing on the front-mounting flanges, slide the packet transport
switch onto the mounting shelf until the center-mounting brackets (open-frame racks)
or front-mounting flanges (four-post racks) contact the rack rails. The shelves ensure
that the holes in the center-mounting brackets and the front-mounting flanges of the
chassis align with the holes in the rack rails.
6. Visually inspect the alignment of the packet transport switch. If the packet transport
switch is installed properly in the rack, all the mounting screws on one side of the rack
should be aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side, and the packet
transport switch should be level.
7. Install a mounting screw into each of the mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting
from the bottom.
8. Move the lift away from the rack.
