Mounting an EX4300 Switch in a Recessed Position in a Rack or Cabinet

You can mount an EX4300 switch in a recessed position on two posts of either a two-post rack or a
four-post rack such that the switch is recessed inside the rack from the rack front by 2 inches. To mount
the switch in a recessed position, use the front-mounting brackets provided in the separately orderable
four-post rack-mount kit.
Reasons to mount the switch in a recessed position include:
• You are mounting the switch in a cabinet and the cabinet doors do not close completely unless the
switch is recessed.
