Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco MDS 9200 Series
Installing the Switch in a Cabinet with Insufficient Front Clearance
The rack-mount kit provided with the switch contains the items listed in Table 2-1. If you do not find all
of the parts listed in Table 2-1, you may have an older version of the rack-mount kit, which only included
the front rack-mount brackets. If this is the case, you can either install the switch in the rack with just
the front rack-mount brackets, or contact your customer service representative for a current version of
the rack-mount kit.
Note If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you purchased
support directly from Cisco, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL:

Installing Front Rack-Mount Brackets for Cabinets with 26 Inches or Greater of
Rail Spacings
Before installing the switch into the cabinet, the front rack-mount brackets for the Cisco MDS 9200
Series must be installed onto the switch. To install the brackets for cabinets with front-mounting rail to
rear-mounting rail spacing greater than or equal to 26 inches, follow these steps.
Step 1 Install the front rack-mount brackets as follows:
a. Position a front rack-mount bracket against the chassis and align the screw holes as shown in
Figure 2-7. Then attach the front rack-mount bracket to the chassis with six of the M4 screws.
b. Repeat with the other front rack-mount bracket on the other side of the switch.
