Hardware Installation 1

Standard Rack Mounting

A standard rack mounting kit is provided with your KL1508 / KL1516. The kit enables the switch to be mounted in rack with a depth of 42–77 cm. The standard rack mounting kit does not include screws or cage nuts. If you need additional screws or cage nuts, contact your rack dealer.

Note:

1. It takes two people to mount the switch: one to hold it in place; the other to screw it in.

2. Optional mounting kits - including single person Easy Installation kits – are available with a separate purchase.

3. The standard rack mounting kit does not include screws or cage nuts. If you need additional screws or cage nuts, contact your rack dealer.

1. While one person positions the switch in the rack and holds it in place, the second person loosely screws the front

brackets to the rack.

2. While the first person still holds the switch in place, the second person slides the L brackets into the switch's side

mounting brackets, from the rear until the bracket flanges contact the rack, then screws the L brackets to the rack.
