• Four M5 flat head screws and a #2 Philips screwdriver.
Before you proceed with mounting the VES-1000 Series switch in a rack, please take note of the following
precautions:
Precautions:
• Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains.
• Make sure the position of the VES-1012 does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all
necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.
Step 1. Position a mounting bracket on one side of the VES-1012, lining up the four screw holes on the bracket
with the screw holes on the side of the unit (Figure 2-4).
Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.
Step 2. Using a #2 Philips screwdriver, install the M3 flat head screws that came with the brackets through the
mounting bracket holes into the VES-1012.
Step 3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to install the second mounting bracket on the other side of the unit.
