Note. If you are installing multiple switches in a rack to form a stacked configuration, refer to the “Rack Mounting Stacked Configurations” section below.

Rack Mounting Stacked Configurations

If you are rack mounting multiple switches in a stacked configuration, be sure to place all switches in vertically-adjacent rack positions. This will ensure that all required stacking cables will have adequate length for the installation. For additional instructions on rack mounting a stacked configuration, follow the steps below:

1Install the rack mount flanges for all switches that are to be included in the stacked configuration, as described on page 2-15. Up to eight switches may be stacked to form a single virtual chassis.

2Place the next switch in the stack directly on top of the previously installed switch.

3Align the holes in the flanges with the holes in the rack’s vertical posts.

4Once the holes are aligned, insert a rack mount screw through the bottom hole of each flange. Tighten both screws until they are secure.

5Repeat steps 1 through 4 above for all remaining switches.
