Selecting Rear Mounting Brackets; Mid-Mounting The Switch In A Two-Post Rack - Extreme Networks Summit X150 Series Hardware Installation Manual

Installing Summit Family Switches
Sides: For a two-post rack installation, allow adequate space for access to the sides of the switch so
●
that the front mounting brackets can be attached to the switch.

Selecting Rear Mounting Brackets

The Summit X480 series switch has two sets of rear mounting brackets. Use the bracket that best suits
the type of rack installation:
Shorter brackets—mid-mounting in a 2-post rack
●
Longer brackets—mounting in a 4-post rack
●

Mid-Mounting the Switch in a Two-Post Rack

Use the shorter rear mounting brackets for a mid-mounted switch.
To mid-mount the switch in a two-post rack:
1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the metal end to an appropriate
ground point on the rack.
2 Using rack-mounting screws suitable for your rack, attach a rear mounting bracket to the back of
each rack post
Do not tighten the screws all the way. You should be able to move the brackets against the rack post.
