Surface Mounting

The V-Switch 2000 chassis is manufactured with four chassis feet. The V- Switch 2000 is ready to be mounted on any secure flat surface. If you plan to rack mount the V-Switch 2000, continue with “Rack Mounting.”

Rack Mounting

The V-Switch 2000 chassis can be mounted on a 19-inch rack. The V-Switch 2000 can be mounted alone or two V-Switches can be joined and mounted together in a single 1U space.

The V-Switch 2000 is shipped with an accessory packet of hardware. This packet includes four non-identical L-brackets and twelve bracket screws for rack mounting

You need the following tools to rack-mount the V-Switch 2000:

A Philips screwdriver suitable for L-bracket screws

Four rack-post screws (and clips if necessary) suitable for the equipment rack

A screwdriver suitable for the rack-post screws

STEP 1. PLACE THE V-SWITCH 2000 RIGHT SIDE UP ON A SECURE FLAT

SURFACE NEAR THE RACK

STEP 2. ATTACH THE LEFT FRONT L-BRACKET

The left front (when facing the V-Switch) L-bracket is the wide L-bracket with two round openings for air intake.

Attach it with four of the included screws. The bracket sits directly against the V Switch.

STEP 3. ATTACH THE RIGHT FRONT L-BRACKET

There are two types of right front L-brackets, depending on if the V-Switch is single or dual-mounted.

For single-mounting, use the long arm L-bracket to span the space from the V- Switch to the rack. Attach it with four of the included screws.

For dual-mounting, use the short L-bracket on both V-Switches. Then place the two V-Switches side by side with the lip of the left V-Switch L-bracket in front of the lip of the right V-Switch L-bracket. Attach the two V-Switches by inserting two screws through the front holes of the overlapping L-brackets.
