Installing the Switch into a 19-inch Rack

Fit the brackets as shown in the figure below to
each side of the unit. Following the manufacturer’s
instructions, secure the unit into the rack.

You must use the screws supplied with the mounting
brackets. Damage caused to the unit by using incorrect
screws will invalidate your warranty.

Powering-up the Switch

the Switch.

outlet.

outlet is installed near to the unit and is accessi­ble. You can only disconnect the unit by removing

On Self Test (POST), which takes approximately 12
seconds. When the POST is complete, check the
