4. Open the plastic bag containing mounting parts.and locate:
• (12) Torx screws for attaching the rails to the switch
• (8) screws and clips for attaching the rails to the rack.
NOTE It is highly recommend that two people install the switch, but it can be installed with one,
however it may be difficult to support and align the switch correctly in the rack rails with only
one person.
Step 1. Take one set of sliding brackets and separate them. Each side arrives with the sliding rail
assembled to a fixed rail. They need to be separated prior to attaching to the switch.

Step 2. To install the switch with the bezel to the front of the rack, install with the flange at the front of the
switch. You can also mount the flange toward the back if you want to mount the switch backward in
the rack such that the service-side is forward.
Attach the rail with 6 screws to each side of the switch in the locations shown in Figure 4-3
Screw locations are the same in the switch regardless of rail orientation.
