Install Two Half-Width Switches in a Rack
To install two half-width switches in a single rack space, you need the 19-inch rack-mount kit, which includes
inside and outside middle mounts, supplied with the switch.
The figures in the following procedure show two M4300-24X. However, you can install any two half-width
models in the same manner. For example, you can also install two M4300-8X8F switches or one model
M4300-8X8F and one model M4300-12X12F in a single rack space.
To install two single half-width switches in a single rack space:
1. On the switch that will be on the left side of the rack space, do the following:
a. On the right side of the switch, attach the inside middle mounts by inserting the screws provided in
the rack-mount kit through the mounts and into the mounting holes in the switch.
Position the mounts on the same side of the switch and the female mounts of the switch on the
other side.
b. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure each middle mount to the right side
of the switch.
Position the male mounts on the same side of the switch and the female mounts
of the switch on the other side.
