attach the second bracket to the opposite side.

Mounting the Switch in a Rack
After the brackets are attached to the switch, insert the switch into the rack, and align the bracket in the
rack. Use either the number-12 or number-10 Phillips machine screws
to secure the switch in the rack.
See Figure 2-16.

To prevent airflow restriction, allow clearance around the ventilation openings to be at least:
3 in. (7.6 cm)
