Installing the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296)

Use the following instructions to install 1U and 2U devices in EIA racks that are from L-12.7 cm to 81.28 cm (L-5.0 in. to
32.0 in.) deep, where L is the chassis depth, using the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296).
You can mount the device in a four-post rack in two ways:
•
With the port side flush with the front posts.
•
With the nonport side flush with the rear posts in a recessed position. A recessed position allows a more gradual bend
in the fiber-optic cables connected to the switch and less interference in the aisle at the front of the rack.

Yes Applicable to nonport-side flush mounts.
If the chassis depth (L) is less than 40.64 cm (16 in.), the chassis will not fit into a rack with a maximum depth of 81.28
cm (32 in.) using the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit. The maximum rack depth for a chassis less than 40.64 cm (16 in.) is
81.28 cm (32 in.) minus the difference between the chassis depth and 40.64 cm (16 in.). For example, a chassis with a
depth (L) of 35.56 cm (14 in.) is 5.08 cm (2 in.) smaller than 40.64 cm (16 in.), so it will install into a rack with a maximum
depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.) – 5.08 cm (2 in.), which equals 76.2 cm (30 in.).
Observe the following when mounting the device:
•
Two people are required to install the device in a rack. One person holds the device, while the other screws in the front
and rear brackets.
•
Before mounting your device, review any specific installation and facility requirements in the hardware installation
guide for the device.
•
Hardware devices illustrated in these procedures are for reference only and may not depict the device that you are
installing into the rack.
