Installing the Switch
Note Installing the switch in a 24-inch rack requires an optional bracket kit that is not included with the
switch. You can order a kit containing the 24-inch rack-mounting brackets and hardware from Cisco. The
kit part number is RCKMNT-1RU=.
Removing Screws from the Switch
If you plan to install the switch in a rack, you must first remove screws in the switch chassis so that
mounting brackets can be attached. Figure 2-1 shows how to remove the chassis screws in a
Catalyst 3560 switch.
