Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco MDS 9100 Series
Installing the Switch in a Cabinet or Rack
Figure 2-5 Sliding the Cisco MDS 9134 Switch or the Cisco MDS 9124 Switch onto the Notched
Slider Rails
Step 6 Stabilize the switch in the rack by attaching the front rack-mount brackets to the front rack-mounting
rails:
a. Insert two screws (12-24 or 10-32, depending on rack type) and through the cage nuts and the holes
in one of the front rack-mount brackets and into the threaded holes in the rack-mounting rail (see
Figure 2-6 or Figure 2-7).
b. Repeat for the front rack-mount bracket on the other side of the switch.
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.
