C8300-2N2S-4T2X supports only rack mount, does not support wall mount or desktop mount options.
For both the 19-inch EIA brackets and the 23-inch brackets, start the lower pair of screws first, and rest
the brackets on the lower screws while you insert the upper pair of screws.
The screw slots in the brackets are spaced to line up with every second pair of screw holes in the rack.
When the correct screw holes are used, the small threaded holes in the brackets line up with unused
screw holes in the rack. If the small holes do not line up with the rack holes, you must raise or lower
the brackets to the next rack hole.
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions
to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack. Statement 1006.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the
handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to
support the weight of the unit. Statement 1032
