Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket optional kit is not provided with the switch; to order the kit, contact your switch
supplier.
Note
This section describes the procedure for installing a switch in a rack or cabinet using the optional Telco and
EIA Shelf Bracket Kit.
Shelf-Installation Guidelines
• If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or the rack is otherwise stabilized.
• If you are installing this kit in an EIA rack, attach the shelf to all four rack-mounting posts; the EIA posts
may not be thick enough to prevent flexing of shelf brackets if only two posts are used.
