Scenario 1: Cabinet/
Rack Mounting
Supported
Use front and rear
mounting brackets.

Supported
Ensure that the cabinet is stable and meets the requirements specified in
the Cabinet or Rack.
Leave sufficient vertical space in the cabinet or rack for the switch.
To allow sufficient airflow around the switch, leave at least 50 mm (2.0 in.) clearance
behind and on both the left and right sides of the switch.
To install multiple switches in one cabinet or rack, leave at least 1 U (1 U = 44.45 mm)
between switches that use natural heat dissipation. For switches that use forced or
intelligent air cooling, the recommended spacing between them is 1 U.
Align the mounting brackets on the left and right mounting rails. If they are not on a
horizontal line, forcibly mounting the switch may distort the chassis.
For an S6700-EI switch, using guide rails (purchased separately) to support the chassis is
recommended.
