MCCAT switches can be mounted in 1U (1.75", 4.4cm) of
vertical space in a standard 19" equipment rack. To rack mount
an MCCAT switch, use the brackets and screws (Bracket Assy
of P2-HUBPAC) that came with the device. You can mount the
MCCAT switch facing the front of the rack or the rear.
Forward Mount

facing the front of the rack
1. Let the MCCAT switch's front panel and the bracket's "ear"
face toward you.
2. Align two oval-shaped holes close to the ear of the bracket
with two threaded holes on one side of the MCCAT switch.
3. Secure the bracket to the MCCAT switch with two of the
included screws.
4. Repeat Steps 1 to 3 for securing the other bracket to the
other side of the MCCAT switch.
