Rack Mounting the Switch
This section discusses the following topics:
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, with 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.
Attachment pins must engage all three upper bracket holes.
Goupilles de fixation doivent s’engager tous les trois trous de la bride supérieure.
