Chapter 2 Installing and Starting Up the Switch
Installing the Switch in a Rack
Attaching the Brackets to the Switch
The bracket orientation and the screws you use depend on whether you are
attaching the brackets for a 19-inch or a 24-inch rack. Use two of the supplied
screws to attach each bracket, according to the following guidelines:
• For a 19-inch rack, use the supplied number-8 Phillips flat-head screws to
attach the long side of the bracket to the switch.
• For a 24-inch rack, use the supplied number-8 Phillips truss-head screws to
attach the short side of the bracket to the switch.
Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 show how to attach a bracket to one side of the switch.
Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
