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 switches. 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 M4300-8X8F switch and one M4300-12X12F
switch 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 male 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.
2. On the switch that will be on the right side of the rack space, do the following:
a. On the left side of the switch, attach the outside middle mounts by inserting the
screws provided in the rack-mount kit through the mount and into the mounting
holes in the switch. For this switch too, position the male 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.
