CAUTION:
Switches with 420 mm (16.54 in) depth require either a rack shelf or rear mounting brackets. Front
mounting brackets alone cannot support the weight of these switches.
Table 6 shows installation methods for mounting switches of different depths in a 19-inch standard rack.
The mounting position depends on the depth of the rack.
