NOTE: EX2300-C switches cannot be mounted on all four posts of a rack.
NOTE: If you need to mount an EX2300 switch except the EX2300-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. EX2300-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 EX2300 Switches” on page 51.
•
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 223, with particular attention
to “Chassis Lifting Guidelines” on page 232.
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.
