2.3 Omni-Path Fabric Edge Switch Installation
This section describes the rack mounting instructions for the 24 and 48 port Omni-Path
Fabric Edge Switches in a four-post standard-depth rack. The installation of either
switch is very similar; the majority of steps apply to both switches. Where applicable,
any specifics for either switch are called out.
In a standard-depth rack, the distance between the front and back mounting posts is
~28" (700mm). Mounting rails for the switch are adjustable to accommodate racks
with 26"– 32" between mounting posts.
2.3.1 Mounting Hardware Kit Contents:
• ESD wrist strap
• One pair of mounting rails adjustable for 26"– 32" installation range
• M6 hex head screws
• Front 1U perforated cover
