DS-16M Rails Installation
There are two different length rails: The short rails range between
20.5 inches to 27 inches. The long rails range from 27 inches to 34
inches. Each kit contains two different length rear rail mounts. Use
the rail length that is appropriate for your rack/cabinet.

The front and rear flanges of the DS-16M rails have three screw holes.
See the figure below.

If you are installing both a DS-16M2 and DS-32M2 switch, the DS-16M2
should be positioned at the top of the rack/cabinet, located above the
DS-32M2 switch.
Select the appropriate length rails, and follow the steps below to
install them.

Installing the DS-16M and DS-32M Rails
1. Assemble the rails.
The rails assembly consists of an adjustable rail, a C channel, and
two washers and kep nuts. See the figure below.
C channel
Adjustable
rail
a. Insert the threaded posts on the C channel into the slot on the
adjustable rail.
b. Secure the adjustable rail to the C channel with two #10 flat
washers and M5 kep nuts. Leave the nuts finger tight.
Attach washers\nuts
to threaded posts
2. Determine where in the rack/cabinet you are going to locate the
switch.
The left/right orientation of the rails is determined by the
location of the word “top” on the C channel. The rail is oriented
correctly when this word “top” is up and toward the rack/cabinet
front. See the next figure.

3. Adjust the length of the rail to fit between the channels in the
rack/cabinet.
NOTE: The rail flanges go to the inside of the channels.
4. Once the rails are adjusted to the correct length, tighten the kep
nuts on the rail assembly.
NOTE: If the side skins are removed on the rack/cabinet, you can tighten
the kep nuts after you install the rails.
5. Align the holes of the front rail flange to the inside of the front
channel. The top and bottom screw holes are used for the screws;
the center screw hole is used for the ball stud or latch bracket.

6. Secure the rail to a round-hole channel with 2 M5 x 12 mm
pan-head screws (see the table on page 3), or secure the rail to a
square-hole channel with 2 square-hole washers and

If you are installing the switch in a 40U cabinet, install a keyplate spacer on
the outside of the channel as you secure the rail to the front channel. The
spacer is marked such that an L or an R will be upright when correctly
installed on the left or right channel. See the figure below.

the kep nuts after you install the rails.
5. Align two of the holes of the front rail flange to two holes on the
inside of the front channel. The top screw hole is used for the
screw; the bottom screw hole is used for the ball stud when
installing in a 39U cabinet.

6. If you are installing a switch in a 39U cabinet, secure the rail to a
round-hole channel with one M5 x 12 mm pan-head screws and
one #10 flat washer and ball stud (see the table on page 3), or
secure the rail to a square-hole channel with one square-hole
washer and M5 x 16 mm screw and one #10 flat washer and ball
stud (see the table on page 3). Leave the screw and ball stud
finger-tight. Tighten them after the switch is installed. See the
figures below.
NOTE: The ball studs support the bezel.

Installing the DS-16M2 and DS-32M2 Switches
Installing the DS-16M2 and DS-32M2 Switches
This section describes the procedures for installing the DS-16M2 and
DS-32M2 switches in a rack/cabinet, including attaching the brackets
on the switch. Both switches are installed in the rack/cabinet the
same way. Note, however, that the DS-16M should be positioned at
the top of the rack/cabinet, above the DS-32M.
Mounting Bracket Installation
NOTE: The mounting brackets are the same for both the DS-16M2 and
DS-32M2.
You must attach mounting brackets to the switch before installing it
on the rails. The mounting brackets slide into the C channel of the
rails.
Follow the steps below to attach the mounting brackets to the switch.
1. Orient the L-shaped end of the bracket upward and to the fan end
of the switch as shown in the figure below.
At the fan end of the switch
2. Place the bracket against the switch with the counter-sunk screw
holes facing outward. Align the five screw holes in the bracket
with the five screw holes on the side of the switch.
To guarantee that all the screw holes in the bracket orient correctly with
the screw holes in the switch, first align the bracket’s middle screw hole
with the middle screw hole in the switch.

CAUTION
!
The kits include two (2) sets of screws. To avoid damaging the
screw holes, be sure to check the labeling on the bags and use the
appropriate set of screws for your chassis. The chassis product
number is located on labels at the back and on the bottom of the
chassis.
Align middle hole first
3. Secure the bracket with five 6-32 x .31 flat-head screws (see the
table on page 3). Tighten the screws fully.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 above for the other side of the switch.
Installing the Switch in the Rack/Cabinet
Follow the steps below to install the switch in the rack/cabinet.
1. Lift and orient the switch so that the fan end is to the front of the
rack/cabinet.
2. Align the bracket on each side of the switch with the C channel on
each fixed rail.
3. Push the switch about 3/4 of the way into the rack/cabinet.
4. Tighten the rear screws securing the rails to the rear of the
rack/cabinet.

receptacles on the back of the bezel over the ball studs (39U rack)
or latch brackets (40U rack) on the rail ends.
9. Push the bezel onto the ball studs or latch brackets until it snaps
and locks into place. The illustration below shows an installed,
unpainted 16-port bezel in a 39U rack.
10. Plug one of the supplied power cords into each of the switch’s
two power receptacles.
11. When installing the DS-16M2 switch, run the power cords up in
front of the units and over the top of the uppermost switch.

Installing the DS-16M2 and DS-32M2 Switches
NOTE: There is a 3-inch space between the front of the switch and the back of
the bezel. This is enough room to loop the cord up without pushing the bezel
off.
12. When installing the DS-32M2 switch, the 2U spacing allows you
to run the power cords between the switches.
13. Secure the power cords in the retainer clips, and route them down
the trough along the edge of the rear of the rack. See the figures
below.

If you are removing the switches from the cabinet, you must
remove the top switch from the back of the cabinet. You can remove
all switches below the top switch from the front.
15. Attach the fibre-optic cables to the switch and run the cables from
the switch to the appropriate device. Ensure each fibre-optic
cable has a minimum bend radius of 2 inches.
