Rack Mounting Stacked Configurations

If you are rack mounting multiple switches in a stacked configuration, be sure to place all switches in
vertically-adjacent rack positions. This will ensure that all required stacking cables will have adequate
length for the installation. For additional instructions on rack mounting a stacked configuration, follow the
steps below:
1
Install the rack mount flanges for all switches that are to be included in the stacked configuration, as
described on page 2-23. Up to eight switches may be stacked to form a single virtual chassis.
2
Place the next switch in the stack directly on top of the previously installed switch.
3
Align the holes in the flanges with the holes in the rack's vertical posts.
4 Once the holes are aligned, insert a rack mount screw through the bottom hole of each flange. Tighten
both screws until they are secure. Once the screws at the bottom of each flange are secure, install the
remaining two rack mount screws. Be sure that all screws are securely tightened.
5
Repeat steps 1 through 4 above for all remaining switches.
