You can mount an EX4500 switch in a rack or cabinet such that the switch is recessed
inside the rack from the rack front by 2 inches. Use the front brackets provided in the
separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit to mount the switch in a recessed position.
Reasons to mount the switch in a recessed position include:
You are mounting the switch in a cabinet and the cabinet doors will not close completely
unless the switch is recessed.
The switch you are mounting has an uplink module with transceivers installed in it—the
transceivers in the uplink module ports protrude from the front of the switch.
To mount the switch in a recessed position on four posts, follow the instructions in
"Mounting an EX4500 Switch on Four Posts in a Rack or Cabinet" on page
NOTE: You cannot mount the EX4500 switch in a recessed position in a
two-post rack or cabinet.

The EX4500 switch chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware
components. The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in EX4500 switches are:
Power supply
Fan tray
Uplink module
Intraconnect module
Virtual Chassis module
SFP transceiver
SFP+ transceiver
The power supply, fan tray, uplink module, and transceivers are hot-removable and
hot-insertable: You can remove and replace them without powering off the switch or
disrupting switch functions.
