• Cables and connectors
• Any optional items ordered
Step 2 Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative. Have
the following information ready:
• Invoice number of shipper (see packing slip)
• Model and serial number of the damaged unit
• Description of damage
• Effect of damage on the installation
Installing the Chassis in a Cabinet or Rack
This section describes how to use the rack-mount kit provided with the switch to install the Cisco MDS
9200 Series into a cabinet or rack that meets the requirements described in Appendix A, “Cabinet and
Rack Installation.” All Cisco MDS 9200 Series switches use the same installation procedure.
Caution If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.
The rack-mount kit provided with the switch contains the items listed in Tabl e 2-1. If you do not find all
the parts listed in Table 2-1, you may have an older version of the rack-mount kit, which only included
the front rack-mount brackets. If this is the case, you can either install the switch in the rack with just
the front rack-mount brackets, or contact your customer service representative for a current version of
the rack-mount kit.
Note If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you purchased
support directly from Cisco, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL:
