Attaching the Switch to a Rack or Cabinet
Take care to load the rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start installing equipment at the bottom and work
up.
Note
The X440-G2 and X620 switches can be front-mounted or mid-mounted to a two-post rack
only. They cannot be attached to a four-post rack or cabinet.
1. On one side of the switch, set a mounting bracket against the switch housing.
Set the flange even with the front panel of the switch – or, if you are mid-mounting the switch in a
two-post rack, set the flange toward the back of the switch.
The following figures illustrate how to attach the brackets for two common mounting options.
