c) Secure the rack-mount bracket to the chassis using the four M4 screws and tighten each screw to
12 in-lb (1.36 N·m) of torque.
d) Repeat Step 1 for the other rack-mount bracket on the other side of the switch, and be sure to
position it in the same distance from the front of the switch.
4. Install the two rack-mount guides on the chassis, as follows:
a) Align the two screw holes on a rack-mount guide to the middle two screw holes in the remaining six
screw holes on a side of the chassis.
b) Attach the guide to the chassis using two M4 screws. Tighten the screws to 12 in-lb (1.36 N·m) of
torque.
c) Repeat Step 2 for the other rack-mount guide on the other side of the switch.
5. If you are installing the chassis into an ungrounded rack, you must attach a customer-supplied
grounding wire to the chassis, as explained in Grounding the Switch. However, if you are installing the
chassis into a grounded rack, you can skip this step.
6. Install the slider rails into the rack or cabinet, as follows:
a) Determine which two posts of the rack or cabinet you should use for the slider rails. Of the four
vertical posts in the rack or cabinet, two will be used for the rack-mount brackets, and the other
two posts will have the slider rails.
