Mounting an EX4500 Switch on Four Posts in a Rack or Cabinet
You can mount an EX4500 switch on four posts of a 19-in. rack or cabinet by using the separately orderable
four-post rack-mount kit. (The remainder of this topic uses "rack" to mean "rack or cabinet.")
You can mount the switch on two posts in either a two-post rack or a four-post rack by using the mounting
brackets provided with the switch. See
