The J-EX8216 switch ships installed with front-mounting brackets on the chassis for
mounting the switch on a 19-in. equipment rack or cabinet. (The remainder of this topic
uses "rack" to mean "rack or cabinet.") The switch also comes with adjustable mounting
brackets to support it in the rack.
In a four-post rack, the switch consumes 21 U without the optional power cord tray and
22 U with the optional power cord tray. Installation in a two-post rack is not supported.
You can mount two switches on a 42 U four-post rack provided that the rack meets the
strength requirements to support the combined weight of the switches.
