Installing the switch in a 19-in rack
IMPORTANT:
•
M4 screws are used for attaching the mounting brackets and chassis rails to the chassis. As a
best practice, use a torque of 12 kgf-cm (1.18 Nm) to fasten M4 screws.
•
M6 screws and cage nuts are user supplied. As a best practice, use a torque of 30 kgf-cm (2.94
Nm) to fasten M6 screws.
•
Shoulder screws are used to support the weight of the switch together with rear mounting
brackets. As a best practice, use a torque of 12 kgf-cm (1.18 Nm) to fasten shoulder screws.
