Mounting An Ex8208 Switch On A Rack Or Cabinet Without Using A Mechanical Lift - Juniper EX8208 Hardware Manual

4. Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) above the surface of the adjustable mounting
brackets/power cord tray. Position the chassis in the rack as close as possible to resting on the support
that the mounting brackets and/or power cord tray provide.
5. In a four-post rack, carefully slide the switch onto the adjustable mounting brackets until the
front-mounting brackets ("ears") attached to the chassis contact the rack rails. The adjustable mounting
brackets installed in the rack ensure that the holes in the front-mounting brackets align with the holes
in the rack rails.
In a two-post rack, carefully slide the switch into the rack ensuring that the front bottom of the chassis
rests on the lip of the power cord tray. The front-mounting brackets ("ears") prevent the chassis from
tipping too far back.
6. Move the lift away from the rack.
7. In a four-post rack, slide the chassis so that the front-mounting bracket is flush with the front of the
rack.
In a two-post rack, push the bottom of the chassis so that the front-mounting bracket is flush with the
front of the rack.
8. Install a mounting screw into each of the open front-mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting
from the bottom.
9. Visually inspect the alignment of the switch. If the switch is installed properly in the rack, all the mounting
screws on one side of the rack are aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side and the
switch is level.
10. After ensuring that the switch is aligned properly, tighten the screws.
