Quick Start Guide: 7500N Series Modular Switches 11
Chapter 3
Rack Mounting the Switch
The accessory kit provides components for installing the switch in two-post and four-post racks.
• Section 3.1.1 provides instructions for mounting the switch in a two-post rack.
• Section 3.1.4 provides instructions for mounting the 7504N and 7508N switches in a four-post rack.
• Section 3.2 provides instructions for mounting the 7512N and the 7516N switches in a shelf
four-post rack.
The rack mounting procedure is identical for the 7504N and 7508N Series switches. Illustrations in this
chapter depict the mounting of an unpopulated 8-slot chassis.
The 7512N and the 7516N switches require a different mounting shelf, and only for the four-post rack.
Illustrations in this chapter depict the mounting of an unpopulated 12-slot chassis and a 16-slot chassis.
After completing the instructions for your rack type, proceed to Chapter 4.
3.1 7504N and 7508N Rack Mounting
3.1.1 Two-Post Rack Mount
To mount the switch to a two-post rack, assemble mounting brackets to the middle of the chassis, then
attach the brackets to the rack. The switch does not support a front or rear mount into a two-post rack.
The accessory kit includes the following two-post mounting parts:
• 2 center-mount brackets
• 20 M4x8 pan-head Phillips screws
3.1.2 Attaching Mounting Brackets to the Chassis
Step 1 Orient the switch chassis and the two center-mount brackets (Figure 3-1 on page 12).
Position the flanges that attach to the rack posts toward the rear of the chassis.
Step 2 Attach both center-mount brackets to the chassis. Each bracket requires ten M4x8 pan-head
Phillips screw.
