the following sections:
• Install the Shelf Brackets in a 9000/10000/11000 Rack, page 2–10

Install the Shelf Brackets in a 9000/10000/11000 Rack
Use these steps to install the two shelf brackets in the rack.
NOTE: Consider leaving the bottom and top U positions open to permit easy accessibility to the
cables entering and exiting the rack.
1. Determine the appropriate placement for the switch inside the rack. It is important
to consider the number of switches you intend to install. See “Tips for Installing
More than One Switch” on page 2–9.
2. Locate the small, round marker hole on the rails that coincides with the location
selected in step 1. Each marker hole delineates the beginning of one rail unit, or U.
3. Locate the square opening in the rail that corresponds with the appropriate marker
hole, as shown in Figure 2–3.
4. Position the higher, shelf bracket threaded hole in this square opening, as shown in
Figure 2–3.
5. Orient the shelf bracket in the rails.
6. Place the square washer provided on the front of the rail so that the two bumps on
the washer sit in opposite corners in the rail’s square hole.
7. Insert the panhead Phillips screw, and partially tighten to temporarily stabilize the
bracket.
8. Make sure the shelf bracket is level, and align the rear of the shelf bracket with the
appropriate position on the rear rail, as shown in Figure 2–3.
9. Repeat step 4 through step 7 for the rear end of the shelf bracket.
10. Repeat step 1 through step 9 for the second shelf bracket.
11. Completely tighten all screws attaching shelf brackets to the rack’s rails.
12. Using a torque driver, torque the screws to 22 in/lb.
