Rack or cabinet hardware installation
You may either place the switch unit on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19" wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack.
For 1U switches:
● By default, the switch ships with a two-post rack mount system.
● You can order the ReadyRails system separately and/or the four-post L-bracket rail system for two-post or four-post rack
mounting.
The ReadyRails system includes separately packaged rail assemblies.
WARNING: This document is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your
and Regulatory information booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The figures in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted ReadyRails as a shelf or a workplace.
Rackmount safety considerations
● Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, possibly damaging the equipment
and causing personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components starting at
the bottom of the rack, and then work to the top. Do not exceed the load rating of your rack.
