Installation Accessory Kits
The switch chassis is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch rack, either open or enclosed. The chassis
is shipped with the 19-inch rack-mount L brackets that are factory installed on the left-front and right-front
of the chassis. Screws are included with the accessory kit that are used to secure the chassis in the rack
enclosure.
Note
Depending on the manufacturer, the rack posts might be prethreaded to accept either 10-32 or 12-24 screws.
If the rack posts are not prethreaded, you must install 10-32 or 12-24 clip nuts or cage nuts to secure the
rack-mount screws. The clip nuts or the cage nuts are not included as part of the accessory kit and must be
obtained on your own.
The accessory kit also contains the following:
• Cable guides— Two cable guides can be installed on the front of the chassis using the same sets of screws
L Brackets on the Chassis
The switch chassis is shipped with two L brackets installed toward the front of each side of the chassis, as
shown in the following figure.
