Mounting the switch to the rack
To mount the switch to the rack:
1.
Move the chassis to face the rear of the chassis towards the front of the rack.
2.
Use at least two persons to lift the switch by using the handles or supporting the bottom of the
chassis until the bottom of the switch is a little higher than the slide rails on the rack.
CAUTION:
x
Do not hold the handle of the fan tray, power supply, or the back cover of the chassis, or the air vents of
chassis. Any attempt to carry the switch with these parts may cause equipment damage or even bodily
injury.
x
HP recommends using a mechanical lift for moving your switch.
3.
Place the switch on the slide rails and slide the switch along the slide rails until the mounting
brackets on the switch touch the front rack posts, as shown in callout 1 on
Figure 14
.
CAUTION:
After placing the switch on the slide rails, do not leave go of your hands immediately because this may tip
the switch, damaging the switch or even causing bodily injury.
4.
Fix the chassis to the rack with mounting screws.

cage nuts are installed in the correct holes.
