Mounting an EX-series Switch on a Rack or Cabinet
You can mount an EX-series switch on a 19-in. or 23-in. equipment rack or cabinet
by using mounting brackets. The switch is shipped with mounting brackets and
screws to be used to secure the chassis to rack or cabinet rails.
NOTE: If you are mounting multiple switches on a rack or cabinet, mount a switch
in the bottom of the rack or cabinet first and proceed to mount the rest of the switches
from bottom to top.
CAUTION: One person must be available to lift the switch chassis while another
secures the chassis to the rack or cabinet.
Before mounting an EX-series switch on a rack or cabinet, you must attach mounting
brackets to the switch. For instructions on attaching mounting brackets to an EX-series
switch, see “Attaching Mounting Brackets to an EX-series Switch” on page 64.
■ Verify that the site meets the requirements described in “Site Preparation
Checklist for EX-series Switches” on page 49.
■ Place the rack or cabinet in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance
for airflow and maintenance, and secure it to the building structure.
■ Read “General Safety Guidelines and Warnings” on page 130, with particular
attention to “Chassis Lifting Guidelines” on page 147.
■ Remove the switch from the shipping carton (see “Unpacking an EX-series
Switch” on page 62).
■ Ensure you have the following tools and parts available to mount an EX-series
switch on a rack or cabinet:
■ Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
■ Mounting brackets to mount the chassis on a rack or cabinet
■ Dust covers for ports (for EX 4200-24F switches only; optional)
To mount the EX-series switch on a rack or cabinet (see Figure 32 on page 69):
1. Secure the mounting brackets to the chassis by inserting screws along both the
front and rear of the mounting brackets (see Figure 31 on page 68). If you are
center-mounting the switch, move the mounting brackets to the center of the
chassis. For instructions on attaching mounting brackets to an EX-series switch,
see “Attaching Mounting Brackets to an EX-series Switch” on page 64.
2. Have one person grasp both sides of the switch, lift the switch, and position it
in the rack, aligning the mounting bracket holes with the threaded holes in the
