Rack Mount Ear Positioning
If you are installing the SSA switch using the SSA-FB-MOUNTKIT optional rack mount kit,
proceed to “Optional Rack Mount Rail Kit Installation” on page C-1.
When shipped from the factory, the SSA switch has rack mount ears attached to the edge of the
side of the switch containing the I/O ports in a flush mount configuration, as shown in callout 1 of
Figure 2-1 on page 2-3. If you are mounting the switch using the factory positioning of the rack
mount ears, go to “Securing the SSA Switch to the Rack” on page 2-9.
The rack mount ears can be repositioned providing three alternative mounting options.
Alternative mounting options are described in the following sections:
•“Flush-Mount Power Supply Facing Front Configuration” on page 2-7
•“Mid-Mount I/O Ports Facing Front Configuration” on page 2-8
•“Mid-Mount Power Supply Facing Front Configuration” on page 2-8
