Mounting an EX2200 Switch on Two Posts in a Rack or Cabinet

You can mount the switch on two posts of a 19-in. rack or cabinet by using the mounting brackets provided with the switch. (The remainder of this topic uses “rack” to mean “rack or cabinet”.)

You can mount the switch on four posts of a four-post rack by using the mounting brackets provided with the separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit. See “Mounting an EX2200 Switch on Four Posts in a Rack or Cabinet” on page 57.

NOTE: If you need to mount the switch in a recessed position on either a two-post rack or a four-post rack, you can use the 2-in.-recess front mount brackets provided in the separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit.

Before mounting the switch on two posts in a rack:
