Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Installing the Switch
Rack-Mounting
To install the switch in a 19-inch or 24-inch rack (24-inch racks require optional mounting hardware),
follow the instructions described in these procedures:
• Removing Screws from the Switch, page 2-8
• Attaching Brackets to the Switch, page 2-8
• Mounting the Switch in a Rack, page 2-11
• Attaching the Cable Guide, page 2-12
Note Installing the switch in a 24-inch rack requires an optional bracket kit not included with the switch. You
can order a kit containing the 24-inch rack-mounting brackets and hardware from Cisco (part number
RCKMNT-1RU).
Removing Screws from the Switch
If you plan to install the switch in a rack, you must first remove the screws in the switch chassis so that
you can attach the mounting brackets.
Figure 2-2 shows how to remove the chassis screws in a switch.
