1. Place the ESD mat on the floor where you will be working and put on the ESD strap. Make sure the ESD strap is touching your skin and that the other end is connected to a verified ground.
2. Choose which side of the switch you want even with the rack vertical support. Either the side with the power supply units or the side with the QSFP connectors can be even with one of the vertical rack supports.

Things to consider before choosing where to mount the rails and rail slides.
The distance between the rack and the door can be as little as 4 cm on one side of the rack and as much as 18 cm on the other side of the rack. Keep in mind that there can be as many as 36 cables connected to the switch.
• Do you want the connector side recessed in the rack to allow for a larger cable bending radius? It is possible to recess the connector side by 5cm by optional placement of the switch rails. See Figure 18,“Mounting Options”.
• Will the connector side be recessed past other equipment in the rack and will this be problematic?
• The installation kit allows for a 2” recess of the switch past the vertical support.

3. Decide which mounting option you want to use.
To use the rail kit to transfer the power cord from the connector side to the power side go now to “Transferring the Power Cord” on page 54.
4. Screw the switch slides onto the switch. Use 5 flat head screws for short switches and 7 screws for standard depth switches, to connect each switch slide.

5 screws per side are needed for the short switch
7 screws per side are needed for the standard switch

6. Clip 4 more caged nuts into the holes on the opposite side of the rack. Check that both sides of the switch, left and right, are the same level in the rack.
7. Slide the rail into the rail slide.
8. Using two of the bolts for each corner install the rails and rail slides in the rack. Do not tighten the bolts yet.
