1

Attach the left and right system rails (A) to the switch.

2

Secure the assembly by gently pushing the system chassis’ pins through the slider key holes, until locking occurs image2023-5-16_11-45-42-version-1-modificationdate-1750852299487-api-v2.png

3

Mount both of the rack rails (B) into the rack by angularly inserting the brakes located at the rails edges into the designated slots in the rack unit, as shown in the following figure: image2023-5-16_11-46-20-version-1-modificationdate-1750852298957-api-v2.png

4

Align both rack rails (B) to sit horizontally in parallel to the rack assembly. By straightening the rails' angular position, their breaks will be caught and locked in the rack's slots.

5

Pull the rack rails' telescopic extensions all the way to the rack's opposite side, and insert the latches at the rails' free edges to the rack's slots. A click should be heard as the spring latches are fully inserted and locking occurs.A

6

While your installation partner is supporting the system’s weight, slide the rails installed on the system into the channels in the rack rails, and push them forward until the locking mechanism is activated on both sides and a click is heard. image2023-5-16_11-51-16-version-1-modificationdate-1750852297020-api-v2.png

7

Tighten the captive screws on both sides to further secure the system to the rack's posts.

A cable retainer should be used to secure the power cord when plugging it into each power socket (located on the rear side of the switch). To secure the power cord inside the retainer, press the small tab on the retainer strip to loosen the loop and pull. (The following diagram is for general illustration; the rear view does not necessarily match that of the actual system).

Removing the Device from the Rack

To remove the system from the rack:

  1. Turn off the system and disconnect it from peripherals and from the electrical outlet.

  2. While your installation partner is supporting the system’s weight, loosen the captive screws attaching the system's rails to the rack's posts.

  3. Use two hands to pull the system out until it is caught by the rails.

  4. Press the spring latches on both sides of the rack and continue to pull the system out until the rack rails are clear of the system's rails.

    image2023-3-20_0-12-50-version-1-modificationdate-1711558930173-api-v2.png

  5. Remove the rails from the system. Release the metal latches and pull out the rails, so the system's pins will be removed out of the oval slots.
