Mounting an EX2200 Switch on Two Posts of a Rack or Cabinet

122
You can mount all EX2200 switches on two posts of a two-post or a four-post 19-in. rack
or cabinet using the mounting brackets and screws provided with all EX2200 switches
except the EX2200-C switches. For EX2200-C switches, mounting brackets and screws
are separately orderable. (The remainder of this topic uses rack to mean rack or cabinet.)
NOTE: If you need to mount an EX2200 switch except the EX2200-C switch
models in a recessed position on either a two-post rack or a four-post rack,
you can use the 2-in.-recess front mount brackets provided in the separately
orderable four-post rack-mount kit. EX2200-C cannot be mounted in a
recessed position.
NOTE: Do not block the vents on the top of the EX2200-C switches. Doing
this can lead to overheating of the switch chassis.
Before mounting the switch on two posts of a two-post or a four-post rack:
Verify that the site meets the requirements described in
for EX2200 Switches" on page
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
to "Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX2200 Switches" on page
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
2 mounting brackets and 8 mounting screws (provided with EX2200 switches except
the EX2200-C switch model)
Screws to secure the chassis to the rack (not provided)
2-in.-recess front brackets from the separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit if
you will mount the switch in a recessed position (not applicable for EX2200-C switches).
NOTE: One person must be available to lift the switch while another secures
the switch 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.
