on the following steps.
Installing into a 19-inch Rack
Fit the brackets as shown in 1to each side of the unit.

that the wall you are using is smooth, flat, dry and
sturdy. Attach a piece of plywood securely to the wall
if necessary. Position the base of the Switch against the
wall, ensuring that the ventilation holes face sidewards
and the front panel faces upwards. Secure using suit-
able screws and fixings (not provided).

ble. You can only disconnect the unit by removing
