Before installing the switch blades
The M6100 series switch blades are designed to be installed in the
XCM8903 switch chassis. We recommend installing the XCM8903 chassis
into a rack before installing any switch blades. For more information about
how to install the XCM8903 switch chassis, see the M6100 - Campus Edge
and SMB Core Chassis Switch, Blades, and Daughter Cards Hardware
Installation Guide.

Install the chassis
You can either rack-mount the chassis into a rack or install the chassis
using the included rails. For information about installing the chassis using
rails, see the Campus Edge and SMB Core Chassis Switches M6100 Series
Hardware Installation Guide.
To rack-mount the chassis:
1. Partially screw two of the included screws into the rack where you
want the bottom of the chassis to rest.
2. Rest the bottom of the chassis’s brackets on the two screws.
