2.2 Mounting the Switch on a Rack
This section lists the rack mounting requirements and precautions and describes the installation
steps of how to mount the Switch in a 19-inch rack with the included rack mounting kit.
Note: ZyXEL provides extensible rear mounting brackets (RM400) to install the Switch in
a 21-inch, 23-inch or 24-inch rack. See the RM400 Hardware Installation
Guide.
2.3 Installation Requirements
• Two front mounting brackets (short), two sliding rails and two rear mounting brackets.
• Eight M4 metric screws with large heads and a #2 Philips screwdriver for attaching the brackets
to the Switch.
• Four M4 metric screws with small heads and a #2 Philips screwdriver for attaching the sliding
rails to the Switch.
• Eight M6 metric rack screws and a screwdriver for attaching the Switch (with attached brackets)
to the rack. Rack depth can be from 90 to 120 cm.
Note: Failure to use the proper screws may damage the unit.
2.3.1 Precautions
• Make sure the rack will safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it contains. The
maximum weight a bracket can hold is 27 Kg.
• Make sure the position of the Switch does not make the rack unstable or top-heavy. Take all
necessary precautions to anchor the rack securely before installing the unit.
2.4 Attaching the Brackets to the Switch
Use the M4 screws (smaller than the rack screws) to attach the brackets to the Switch.
Position the smaller front mounting bracket on one side of the Switch, lining up the four screw holes
