Rack type
Mounting bracket hole spacing
Rack size and strength
Rack connection to the building structure
Table 28 on page 93 provides the rack requirements and specifications for the switch.
Guidelines
Use a two-post rack or a four-post rack. You can mount the switch on any two-post or four-post
rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75 in./4.45 cm) increments and
that meets the size and strength requirements to support the weight.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document
number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association (
The rack must meet the strength requirements to support the weight of the chassis.
The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm), so that the switch can
be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
