NOTE: If you need to mount an EX2200 switch except the EX2200-C switch
model in a recessed position on either a two-post rack or a four-post rack,
you can use the 2-in.-recess front-mounting brackets provided in the
separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit. EX2200-C switches cannot
be mounted in a recessed position.
Before mounting the switch on four posts of a rack:
•
Verify that the site meets the requirements described in “Site Preparation Checklist
for EX2200 Switches” on page 61.
•
Place the rack 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 169, with particular attention
to “Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX2200 Switches” on page 183.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
•
6 Phillips 4-40 flat-head mounting screws (provided with the four-post rack-mount
kit)
•
8 Phillips 4x6-mm flat-head mounting screws (provided with the four-post rack-mount
kit)
•
One pair each of flush or 2-in.-recess front-mounting brackets
•
One pair of side mounting-rails
•
One pair of rear mounting-blades
•
Screws to secure the chassis and the rear mounting-blades to the rack (not provided)
NOTE: One person must be available to lift the switch while another secures
it to the rack.
CAUTION: If you are mounting multiple units on a rack, mount the heaviest
unit at the bottom of the rack and mount the other units from the bottom of
the rack to the top in decreasing order of the weight of the units.
To mount the switch on four posts of a rack:
1. Remove the switch from the shipping carton (see “Unpacking an EX2200 Switch” on
page 86).
2. Attach the front-mounting brackets (either the flush or the 2-in.-recess brackets) to
the side mounting-rails using 6 Phillips 4-40 flat-head mounting screws. See
Figure 30 on page 100.
