The switch is designed to be mounted in a rack using the mounting brackets and
the SANbox2-64 rail kit shown in Figure 4-2. To mount the switch in a rack, do the
following. Rack mounting instructions can also be found in the SANbox2-64 Rack
Mounting Guide packaged with the switch.

1. You can install the switch in a rack “fans first” or “faceplate first”. The switch
comes with two brackets (1) fastened to the front of the switch for a fans-first
installation. These instructions assume a fans-first installation. To install the
switch in the rack faceplate first, remove the mounting brackets and reinstall
them on the rear corners of the switch.
2. Install left (2) and right (3) switch rails on the switch using six 8-32 screws (4)
for each. Be sure that the latch is closest to the end of the switch that will be
installed first in the rack and that the latch tab (5) is pointing down.
3. Extend the rack rails (6) to fit the inner dimensions of the rack. The rail
flanges on both ends fit inside the rack. Be sure that the inner rail is toward
the front. Fasten the front rail flange to the rack with two 10-32 screws (7)
using the upper and lower holes. Fasten the rear end of the rail to the rack
with three 10-32 screws (8).
4. Slide the switch and rail assembly into the rack rails. Fasten the switch to the
rack with two screws (9), one through each bracket.
