Rack Requirementsfor EX2200 Switches
Youcan mount the switch on two-post racksor four-post racks.
Rackrequirements consist of:
•Racktype
•Mountingbracket hole spacing
•Racksize and strength
•Rackconnection to the building structure
Table18 on page 39 provides the rackrequirements and specifications for the switch.
Table18: Rack Requirements and Specifications forthe Switch
GuidelinesRack Requirement
Usea two-post rack or a four-post rack. Youcan mount the switch on any two-post or four-post
rackthat provides bracket holes or holepatterns spaced at 1 U (1.75 in./4.45cm) increments and
thatmeets the size and strength requirements to support the weight.
AU is the standard rack unit definedin Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and AssociatedEquipment (document
numberEIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association (http://www.eia.org).
Therack must meet the strength requirements to support the weight of the chassis.
Racktype
Theholes in the mounting brackets are spaced at1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm), so that the switch can
bemounted in any rack that provides holes spacedat that distance.
