Two-Post Rack Mount provides instructions for mounting the switch in a two-post rack.

After completing the instructions for your rack type, proceed to Connecting Power Cables.

3.2

Two-Post Rack Mount

To mount the switch onto a two-post rack, assemble the mounting brackets to the chassis, then attach

the brackets to the rack posts. Two-post accessory kits include two, three-hole mounting brackets.

Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes; the number of pins (six or seven)

varies by switch model. Pin orientation is symmetric and equidistant, supporting bracket placement

where the flange is either flush with the front and rear panels, or not flush with the panels. Each

bracket hole includes a key-opening for placing the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it

into place.

Important:

Attachment pins must engage all three upper bracket holes.

Goupilles de fixation doivent s’engager tous les trois trous de la bride supérieure..
