Using customer-provided
hardware, insert the cage nuts
into the four holes on the front
of the channel.
Select a 2U space in the rack.
With the channel facing the

channel on the inside of the left
rack upright. Fasten in place
using screws only in the top and
bottom holes of the 2U space.

using the provided screws.
Orient the wiper with the tab
facing away from the centerline
of the switch.

the rack’s 2U space at the

4. Installing the SwitchAir
device into the rack
NOTE: Connect to power
before attaching the SwitchAir
device to the rack. (The
SwitchAir has a standard C14
power inlet. Due to the variety
of possible power source outlet
types, an appropriate power
cord type must be determined
and supplied by the customer.)
Insert the SwitchAir device into
the open rack space at the
same 2U height as the switch.
As the SwitchAir device is
inserted into the space, the
wiper tab acts as a guide to
deflect the wiper past the
switch’s corner and along it’s
side.
Once the SwitchAir device is
fully seated, install the
mounting screws to fasten the
unit to the front rack uprights.
