Step 6
Align the top and bottom holes in the adjustable plates with corresponding holes in the side panel of the
BPX switch shelf. (The bottom of the plates should be approximately aligned with the bottom of a DC-
powered BPX switch shelf. They should be extended below the bottom of an AC-powered BPX switch
shelf so that the AC Power Supplies can be secured to the shelf.)
Step 7 Secure one each adjustable plate to each side of the BPX switch shelf, using (2) each #10-32 machine
screws and flat washers.
Step 8 Attach a rear support bracket to each one of the adjustable plates with 2 each #10-32 screws and
washers. Do not tighten yet.
Step 9 Secure the support brackets to the rear located vertical rails using 2 each #10-32 screws. You might have
to lift the BPX switch shelf slightly to align the holes in the bracket to the holes in the rack.
Step 10 Tighten the screws attaching the support bracket to the adjustable plate.
Step 11 Slide a cable strap over each of the three tabs on the support brackets.
Step 12 Remove the temporary support bracket and spacer bracket from the front of the cabinet.
Step 13 If this is a DC-powered shelf, proceed to Chapter 10, Installing the DC Shelf.
Step 14 If this is an AC-powered shelf, proceed to Chapter 11, Installing the AC Shelf.
