By using both hands, position the switch with the back of the switch between the rear rack-mounting rails as shown in Figure 2-11. Note Figure 2-11 shows the front rack-mount brackets in a 180 degree position. Your front rack-mount brackets may look different if you kept them in the normal position.

Align the two C brackets on either side of the switch with the slider rails installed in the rack. Slide the C brackets onto the slider rails and then gently slide the switch all the way into the rack. If the switch does not slide easily, try realigning the C brackets on the slider rails. Stabilize the switch in the rack by attaching the front rack-mount brackets to the rear rack-mounting rails: a. Insert two screws (12-24 or 10-32, depending on rack type) through the holes in one of the front rack-mount brackets and into the threaded holes in the back rack-mounting rail (see Figure 2-12.) For racks with square holes, first install the 12-24 cage nuts. Note Figure 2-12 shows the front rack-mount brackets in 180 degree position. Your front rack-mount brackets may look different if you kept them in the normal position. 2-16 Cisco MDS 9100 Series Hardware Installation Guide OL-17951-02
