3. Mount the Switch
After the switch passes self test, it is ready to be mounted in a stable location.
The switch can be mounted in these ways:
■ in a rack or cabinet
■ on a horizontal surface
■ under a table
■ on a wall
Rack or Cabinet Mounting
The switch is designed to be mounted in any EIA-standard 19-inch telco rack
or communication equipment cabinet.
The 24-port and 48-port switches can also be mounted in 4-post racks and
cabinets by using the HP X410 Switch Rail Kit (J9583A). For instructions on
using the kit, see the documentation that is included with the kit.
Note that some mounting brackets have multiple mounting holes and can be
rotated allowing for a wide variety of mounting options. Secure the rack in
accordance with the manufacture’s safety guidelines.
WARNING For safe operation, please read the mounting precautions on
page 2-3, before mounting a switch.
Equipment
Cabinet
Note
The 12-24 screws supplied with the switch are the correct threading for
standard EIA/TIA open 19-inch racks. If installing the switch in an equipment
cabinet such as a server cabinet, use the clips and screws that came with the
cabinet in place of the 12-24 screws that are supplied with the switch.
