Two-Post Rack Mount
To mount the switch onto a two-post rack, assemble the mounting brackets to the chassis, then attach
the brackets to the rack posts. Two-post accessory kits include the following two-post mounting parts:
2 three-hole Mounting Brackets
Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes. Pin orientation is symmetric and
equidistant, supporting bracket placements where the flange is flush with the front switch panel, flush
with the rear panel, or not flush with either panel. Each bracket hole includes a key-opening for placing
the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it into place.
Important:
Attachment pins must engage all three upper bracket holes.
Goupilles de fixation doivent être bloquer tous les trois trous de la bride supérieure.
