Table 20: Rack Requirements and Specifications for the Switch (continued)
GuidelinesRack Requirement
•
Ensure that the rack complies with the standard defined for 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets,
Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the
Electronics Industry Association (http://www.eia.org).
•
Ensure thatthe rack rails are spaced widely enough toaccommodate the switch chassis' external
dimensions . The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets extend the width of the chassis to
19 in. (48.2 cm).
•
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the switch.
•
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper clearance around the
switch and rack.
Rack size and strength
•
Secure the rack to the building structure.
•
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
•
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets for maximum stability.
Rack connection to
building structure
One pair of mounting brackets for mounting the switch on two posts of a rack is supplied
with each switch. For mounting the switch on four posts of a rack or cabinet, you can
order a four-post rack-mount kit separately.
NOTE: Mounting brackets are not supplied with EX2200-C switch; they are
separately orderable.
