Install Your Switch
•
Mid-mount
The side of the switch has different sets of holes for attaching mounting brackets in either configuration.
Brackets for a two-post mount are not included in the box with your switch. However, they can be
ordered separately using part number XN-2P-RKMT299.
To attach your switch to a two-post rack, follow these steps:
1. On one side of the switch, attach one of the short mounting brackets to the switch housing.
a. For a front mount, position the bracket over the holes so that the flange (ear) is even with the
front of the switch, as shown in the figure below:
Figure 34: Attaching a Short Mounting Bracket (Ear): Front of Switch
b. For a mid-mount, position the bracket so that the flange (ear) is positioned slightly more than
halfway between the front and back of the switch, as shown in figure below:
