Appendix A: Rack Installation
Installing the Switch into a Telco Rack
To install the switch into a Telco (post style) rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either
side of the switch (four total). First, determine how far the switch will extend out the front
of the rack. Larger switches should be positioned to balance the weight between front
and back. Attach the two front brackets to each side of the switch, then position the two
rear brackets with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Finish
by sliding the switch into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack. See Figure A-6
for details.
