1. Place the EX-series switch on a flat, stable surface.
2. Align the mounting brackets along the front, rear, or center of a side panel of
the EX-series switch chassis depending on how you want to mount the switch
in a rack or cabinet. For example, if you want to center-mount a switch, align
the mounting brackets along the center of the side panel. For instructions on
mounting an EX-series switch on a rack or cabinet, see “Mounting an EX-series
Switch on a Rack or Cabinet” on page 67.
3. Align the bottom hole in the mounting bracket with a hole on the side panel on
the EX-series switch chassis.
4. Insert one mounting screw (provided in the accessory box shipped with the
switch) into each of the two aligned holes. Use a Phillips (+) screwdriver,
number 2 to tighten the screw to the chassis. Ensure that the other holes in the
mounting bracket are aligned with the other holes in the side panel.
5. Insert screws into the other holes in the mounting bracket aligned with the holes
in the side panel and tighten the screws to the chassis using a Phillips (+)
screwdriver, number 2.
