Removing Screws from the Switch
If you plan to install the Catalyst 3548 XL switch in a rack, you must first remove
the front side screws in the switch chassis so that the mounting brackets can be
attached. Figure 2-2 shows how to remove the chassis screw from one side of the
switch. Follow the same procedure for the opposite side.
