Installing the Chassis
Attaching Front-Mount Brackets to the Chassis
You need to attach a right-angled bracket to each side of the chassis. This bracket holds the chassis in place
on a four-post rack.
Before you begin
• You must have the following tools and equipment:
Step 1
Align the two holes in one side of one of two front-mount brackets to two holes on the left or right side of the chassis
(see the following figure).
Be sure that the other side of the bracket is facing toward the front (port end) of the chassis.
1
Front-mount bracket with two screw holes aligned to
two screw holes in the chassis and one screw hole
facing the front (port side) of the chassis.
Step 2
Use two M4 x 6 mm screws to attach the bracket to the chassis. Tighten each screw to 11 to 15 in-lb (1.2 to 1.7 N·m).
Step 3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to attach the second center-mount bracket to the other side of the chassis.
What to do next
You are ready to mount the chassis to the four-post rack.
Installing the Chassis in a Four-Post Rack
You need to slide the chassis onto the bottom-support rails so that the power supply end locks onto the chassis
stops at the end of the rails and so that the front-mount brackets on the chassis come into contact with the
front-mount rails on the rack.
• Manual Phillips-head torque screwdriver
• Front-mount brackets (2) and screws (4) (found inside the switch accessory kit)
