Edge Switch 2/24 installation guide 27

• Eight 10x32 panhead screws

• Eight square alignment washers if you are installing the Edge Switch in an HP 9000, 10000, or

11000 series rack

To install the adjustable brackets on the rack:

1. Determine the position of the Edge Switch in the rack.

Each Edge Switch is 1.75 inches or 1U high.

2. Attach four (three-hole) bar nuts to the cabinet frame using eight Phillips panhead screws

(10-32 x 1/2) with split lock and flat washers.

NOTE: Do not install a screw in the center hole of each bar nut.

3. If you are installing the Edge Switch in an HP 9000, 10000, or 11000 series rack, place a

square alignment washer on each panhead screw before inserting in the square cabinet frame

holes:

a. Mount the bar nut on the inside of the cabinet frame. Orient the holes in the bar nut so that

they are aligned closest to the inside edge of the cabinet frame.

b. Secure, but do not completely tighten, all screws.

4. Measure cabinet depth from inside edge to inside edge of the cabinet frame.

5. Assemble two sets of front and rear brackets so that the combined brackets are equal to the

depth of the cabinet.

6. Attach a two-hole bar nut using four Phillips flathead screws (8-32 x 7/16) to hold each

assembled bracket together. Do not completely tighten the screws but tighten them enough to

hold the brackets together.

7. Install the assembled brackets in the cabinet by sliding the mounting brackets between the bar

nut and cabinet frame.

8. Tighten the three-hole bar nut screws on the mounting brackets until the rails are stable, but can

be easily adjusted.

9. Securely tighten the two-hole bar nut screws holding the front and rear brackets together.

Mounting the slide rails on the sides of the Edge Switch

Tools and equipment required:

• A torque driver with a T10 Torx bit (not supplied in the kit)

• Left and right slide rails

NOTE: You may want to remove the Edge Switch power supplies, as this will make the device

lighter and easier to handle.
