5. Place the switch on a flat, stable surface.
6. Align the mounting brackets along the front or back of the chassis side panels
depending on whether you are front-mounting or back-mounting the switch.
7. Attach the mounting brackets to the chassis with the mounting screws, and tighten
the screws.
8. Have one person grasp both sides of the switch to lift it and position it in the rack,
aligning the mounting bracket holes with the holes in the rack posts so that the
bottom hole in each bracket lines up with a hole at the same level in each rack post.
9. Have a second person install a rack-mount screw in each hole to secure the switch to
the rack.
10. After ensuring that the chassis is level, tighten the screws.
Part 3: Connect the Switch to Earth Ground
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in
which the switch is mounted.
2. Place the grounding lug attached to the grounding cable over the protective earthing
terminal on the left side of the chassis (toward the back), and secure the lug to the
terminal by tightening the screws and washers.

Part 4: Attach the Jumper Cable to the Power Supply
1. Squeeze the two sides of the jumper cable retainer clip, and insert the L-shaped ends
of the wire clip into the holes in the bracket on each side of the AC appliance inlet.
2. Insert the coupler end of the jumper cable into the AC appliance inlet.
3. Push the retainer clip toward the cord until the cord slides into the slot in the
adjustment nut.
4. Turn the nut until it is tight against the base of the coupler and the slot in the nut is
turned 90° from the top of the switch.
5. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the OFF (0) position.
6. Repeat these steps for a second power supply, if needed.
NOTE: Do not power on the switch at this time. You will do so as part of initial
configuration. Power-on timing is particularly important for Virtual Chassis
configurations because power-on order helps determine mastership.
