Note
The screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for standard
EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks. If you are installing the switch in an equipment
cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came with the
cabinet in place of the screws that are supplied with the switch.
Complete step 1. Then, plan which four holes you will be using in the cabinet
and install all four clips and partially install the two bottom screws, as
described in step 2. Then proceed to step 3.
1. Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver and attach the mounting
brackets to the switch with the included 8-mm M4 screws.
