Scenario 4: Cabinet/Rack Mounting
Before You Start
S series Ethernet switches can be installed in a 19-inch standard cabinet/rack. Cabinets purchased
from other vendors must have enough space for equipment installation.
If the distance between front and rear mounting rails is not within the required range, install guide
rails or a tray in the cabinet/rack to support the chassis. Guide rails or trays are not delivered with
the product and must be purchased separately.
When a chassis uses Category-6 or higher Ethernet cables, the distance between the port side and
interior side of the cabinet door must be larger than or equal to 120 mm.
Switches cannot be installed in a 600 mm deep cabinet when they are equipped with 1150 W PoE
power modules.
To install a 250 mm wide switch in a 19-inch cabinet, purchase long mounting brackets.
For the 220 mm deep models of the S2700 and S3700 series, and the S5700-24TP-SI-AC/DC, each
mounting bracket needs to be fixed on the chassis with only two screws.
The floating nuts and M6 screws are not delivered with the switch and need to be separately
purchased if needed.
S6700-EI chassis is heavy, so it is recommended that you install guide rails (separately purchased)
in the cabinet to support the chassis.
Installation Procedure
Step 1 Connect the ground cable to the switch.
Step 2 Use M4 screws to attach a mounting bracket delivered with the switch to each side of the
switch. Determine the mounting method according to the brackets delivered with your switch.
S5710-HI
Ensure a distance of 418–528 mm or 545–655 mm between the front and rear mounting rails.
Cable management frames are recommended when many cables are used.
Leave 2 U between the floating nuts on each front mounting rail, and 1 U between those on the rear rails.
Ensure the lower floating nut on each mounting rail is level with those on the other mounting rails.
