`Installing MasterSwitch VM
`
`Overview
`
`MasterSwitch VM is designed to be mounted vertically in a rack.
`The foUowing procedure describes how to install your
`MasterSwitch VM unit in a NetShelter enclosure or other standard
`(EIA310-D) 19-inch rack.
`
`Mounting in a
`NetShelter
`enclosure
`
`MasterSwitch VM comes with rack-mount brackets for mounting
`in an APC NetShelter enclosure or other standard (EIA310-D)
`19-inch rack. To mount in a NetShelter enclosure, refer to Figure 1
`and Figure 2 and perform the following steps in the order given:

`
`N o TE: The mounting procedure will vary according to the location
`you choose. To avoid interfering with shelves or equipment,
`instaJJ the unit so that it hangs on the outside edge of the
`vertical rail. Figure 2 on page 5 illustrates how to orient the
`brackets with the vertical mounting rail. Installing th e unit
`so that it does not interfere with equipment may take some
`adjusting, depending on where you want to install the unit:
`
`If you want to install the unit in the rear of the enclosure:
`Adjust the back rail so that the rear door will close. Some of
`t he equipment that you have installed in the enclosure may
`also make it necessary for you to adjust the front rail as well.
`
`if you want to install the unit on a side of the enclosure:
`Move the horizontal cross members to the highest and
`lowest positions on the vertical mounting rails.
`
`If you are installing the unit into an expansion
`enclosure: Move the baying brackets from the highest and
`lowest positions on the rail (if they have not been moved
`since shipping) and then move the horizontal cross
`members to the highest and lowest positions on the vertical
`mounting rails.
