•
Place the surface made of ferrous material in its permanent location, allowing adequate
clearance for airflow and maintenance.
•
Read “General Safety Guidelines and Warnings” on page 223, with particular attention
to “Chassis Lifting Guidelines” on page 232.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
Magnet-mount kit (separately orderable). The kit includes 2 self adhesive rubber pads
and 1 magnet mount sheet.
•
At least 2-mm thick flat surface made of ferrous material (not provided)
•
(Optional and separately orderable) 1 cable guard kit. The kit includes the cable guard
and 3 number-8 Phillips truss-head screws to secure the cable guard to the EX2300-C
switch.
•
(Optional and separately orderable) 1 standard cable lock kit to secure the switch from
theft by connecting the cable to the security slot on the switch and a desk or a rack to
fasten the cable lock. The kit includes the standard cable lock and its key.
To mount the switch on or under a surface made of ferrous material:
1. Remove the switch from the shipping carton (see “Unpacking an EX2300 Switch” on
page 123).
2. Turn the chassis upside down.
3. (Optional) Attach the cable guard to protect cable connections:
a. Use the 3 truss-head screws to attach the cable guard to the bottom of the chassis.
b. Use the thumbscrews to tighten or loosen the cable guard so that you can insert
cables. See Figure 49 on page 150.
