Part 1: Mount the Switch on Two Posts of a Rack
You can mount an EX2300 switch series on a desk or a level surface, on two or four
posts of a rack or cabinet, or on a wall. This guide describes the procedure to mount
the switch on two posts of a rack.
Two persons are required for this procedure.
1. Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and
maintenance, and secure it to the building structure.
NOTE: When you mount multiple units on a rack, mount the heaviest unit at the bottom
and mount the other units from bottom to top in decreasing order of weight.
2. Align the mounting brackets along the front of the side panels of the chassis.
3. Attach the brackets to the chassis by using the mounting screws. Tighten the screws.
4. Have one person grasp both sides of the switch, lift the switch, and position it in the
rack, aligning the mounting bracket holes with the threaded holes in the rack rail.
Align the bottom hole in each mounting bracket with a hole in each rail, making sure
that the chassis is level.
5. Have the second person secure the switch to the rack by using the appropriate
screws. Tighten the screws.
Part 2: Connect Power to the Switch
NOTE: We recommend that you connect AC-powered systems to earth ground.
The power cord inlet and earthing terminal are on the rear panel of the switch.
1. Secure the grounding lug over the earthing terminal on the rear panel by using
washers and screws.
2. Squeeze the sides of the power cord retainer clip and insert the L-shaped ends of the
wire clip into the holes in the brackets above and below the power cord inlet.
3. Insert the coupler end of the power cord into the AC power cord inlet.
