1. Installing the airflow

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
centerline of the rack, hold 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.
Repeat the procedure to install
the airflow channel on the
opposite side.

5. 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 network
switch and air trunk.
As the SwitchAir device is
inserted into the space, each
wiper tab acts as a guide to
deflect the wiper past the
switch and air trunk’s corner
and along their sides.
Once the SwitchAir device is
fully seated, install the
mounting screws to fasten the
device to the front rack
uprights.
