Attach the Switch to a Rack or Cabinet
The 7720 Series switch can be attached to a standard 19-inch equipment rack, in either
of the following ways:
• Four-post rack, using the mounting kit provided.
• Two-post rack, using mounting brackets (not provided) to attach the front or the
middle of the switch to the posts.
To attach a switch to a two-post rack, a four-post rack, or a cabinet, follow these steps.
Note
Take care to load the rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start installing equipment
at the bottom and work up.
Four-Post Rack Mount
A four-post rack-mounting kit is included in the box with your switch. The kit contains
an instruction sheet, along with the following components:
• Two mounting brackets, known as
inner member
in the instruction sheet. These
pieces attach directly to both sides of the switch housing.
• Two slider assemblies, one for each side of the switch. Each slider assembly consists
of an outer piece that is secured to the rack and a sliding rail to which you will attach
the corresponding mounting bracket. These pieces are known on the instruction
sheet as the
outer member
and
intermediate member
.
• Mounting ears - Black rack ears with a thumb screw in the middle (2 count)
• Black mounting ear screws (6 count)
To attach your switch to a four-post rack, follow these steps:
1. Separate the inner sliding rails from the outer rails by extending the rails and pulling
on the disconnect latch. Note which direction the sliding rails slide from the outer
rails for correct installation.
