Juniper Networks EX4200, EX3200 manual Attaching the Mounting Bracket Along the Front of the Switch

Chapter 9: Installing the Switch

■Read “General Safety Guidelines and Warnings for EX Series Switches” on page 207, with particular attention to “Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX3200 and EX4200 Switches” on page 220.

■Remove the switch from the shipping carton (see “Unpacking an EX3200 or EX4200 Switch” on page 114).

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to mount the switch on two posts in a rack:

■Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2

■2 mounting brackets and 8 mounting screws (provided in the accessory box shipped with the switch)

■Screws to secure the chassis to the rack (not provided)

■2-in.-recess front brackets if you will mount the switch in a recessed position (brackets are from the separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit).

■Dust covers for ports (for EX4200-24F switches only; optional)

NOTE: One person must be available to lift the switch while another secures the switch to the rack.

CAUTION: If you are mounting multiple switches on a rack, mount a switch in the bottom of the rack first and proceed to mount the rest of the switches from bottom to top.

To mount the switch on two posts in a rack:

1.Place the switch on a flat, stable surface.

2.Align the mounting brackets along the front, rear, or center of the side panels of the switch chassis depending on how you want to mount the switch. For example, if you want to center-mount the switch, align the brackets along the centers of the side panel. See Figure 38 on page 119.
