NOTE: Do not block the vents on the top of EX2300-C switches. Blocking
the vents can lead to overheating of the switch chassis.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
3 desk-mounting screws (M4 x 30 mm or 8-32 x 1.25 in. Phillips pan-head machine
screws—not provided)
•
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
•
(Optional and separately orderable) 1 cable guard kit. The kit includes the cable guard
and 3 number-8 Phillips truss-head screws to secure the cable guard to the switch.
•
(Optional and separately orderable) 1 standard cable lock kit to secure the switch from
theft by connecting the cable to the security slot on the switch and a desk or a rack to
fasten the cable lock. The kit includes the standard cable lock and its key.
To mount the switch under a desk or other level surface by using screws:
1. Remove the switch from the shipping carton (see “Unpacking an EX2300 Switch” on
page 123).
2. (Optional) Attach the cable guard to protect cable connections:
a. Use the 3 truss-head screws to attach the cable guard to the bottom of the chassis.
b. Use the thumbscrews to fasten or loosen the cable guard so that you can insert
cables. See Figure 32 on page 132.
