Installing a DS-5300B into an EIA cabinet
The rack mount kit can be installed in two ways:
• To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the 
exhaust-air side of the cabinet.
In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the 
edge of the cabinet.
• To allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out the cool-air 
side of the cabinet.
In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 3 in. (7.62 
cm) back from the edge of the cabinet, allowing a more 
gradual bend in the fiber optic cables.
Whichever mounting method you choose, follow the installation 
instructions shipped with the appropriate rack mount kit.
