Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco MDS 9200 Series
Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack
Step 3 Position the chassis in the rack, inserting the rear of the chassis between the front mounting rails (see
Figure 2-4). Use the 12-24 x 3/4-in. or 10-32 x 3/4-in. screws (depending on the type of rack) to attach
the front rack-mount brackets to the mounting rails (three per side).
If you are installing the optional cable guides, place the cable guides in front of the front rack-mount
brackets, and then pass the screws through the cable guides, front rack-mount brackets, and mounting
rail. You can install one or both cable guides; if installing a single cable guide, it can be installed on
either side.

Step 4 From the back of the rack, position the longer slider rails with the ears away from the chassis and slide
them into the C brackets previously installed on the sides of the chassis (see Figure 2-5).
Step 5 Level the chassis (it may sag slightly towards the back) and attach the slider rails to the mounting rails
with the 12-24 x 3/4-in. or 10-32 x 3/4-in. screws, three per side.
