Center Rack-Mounting a Catalyst 6506 and Catalyst 6506-E Switch Chassis
This section describes how to install the Catalyst 6506 and Catalyst 6506-E switch chassis in a telco-style rack using the center rack-mount kit (WS-C6597=). For the Catalyst 6506 and Catalyst 6506-E switch chassis, you need to install the two center rack-mount kit brackets to the bottom sides of the chassis.
Note Use this kit in place of the rack-mount brackets shipped installed on the chassis, and only when you are center rack-mounting a Catalyst switch in a telco-style rack.
Note To make handling the chassis easier, you should remove all modules and power supplies before you install the chassis in the rack. The illustrations that show the modules and power supplies in the following procedure are for reference purposes only.
To install the Catalyst 6506 or Catalyst 6506-E switch chassis in a telco-style rack using the WS-C6597 center rack-mount kit, perform these steps:
Step 1 Remove the two brackets and the bag of screws from the packaging.
Step 2 Attach the two brackets to the sides of the chassis with 4 M4 screws on each side. (See Figure 1.)

Center Rack-Mounting a Catalyst 6509 and Catalyst 6509-E Switch Chassis
This section describes how to rack-mount a Catalyst 6509 and Catalyst 6509-E switch chassis in a telco-style rack using the WS-C6597 center rack-mount kit. For the Catalyst 6509 and Catalyst 6509-E switch chassis, you need to install the two center rack-mount kit brackets to the bottom sides of the chassis.
Note Use this kit in place of the rack-mount brackets shipped installed on the chassis, and only when you are center rack-mounting a Catalyst switch in a telco-style rack.

Center Rack-Mounting a Catalyst 6513 Switch Chassis
This section describes how to install the Catalyst 6513 chassis in a telco-style rack using the WS-6513-RACK-MNT center rack-mount kit. In this procedure, the two lower brackets are used as a shelf and are not attached to the chassis. The two upper brackets are attached to the chassis and are secured to the telco-style rack.
Note To make handling the chassis easier, you should remove all modules and power supplies before you install the chassis in the rack. The illustrations that show the modules and power supplies in the following procedure are for reference purposes only.
To install the Catalyst 6513 chassis in a telco-style rack using the WS-6513-RACK-MNT center rack-mount kit, perform these steps:
Step 1 Remove the four brackets and the bag of screws from the packaging.
Step 2 Position and install the two lower brackets in the rack using 8 10-32 or 12-24 screws (4 on each side). Use the level and tape measure to position the brackets so that they are level. (See Figure 5.)

Step 3 Attach the large L-brackets to the sides of the chassis using 5 M4 x 8 mm screws on each side. (See Figure 6.)
Figure 6 Attaching the Upper Brackets to the Catalyst 6513 Switch Chassis
Step 4 Lift the chassis and position it in front of the two brackets attached to the rack. Slide the chassis into the rack so that the two L-brackets are in contact with the rack.
Step 5 Secure the chassis to the rack with 10 10-32 or 12-24 screws (5 on each side). (See Figure 7.)
