Rack Mounting the Switch

Important:

The rack mounting procedure is identical for all switches covered by this guide. Illustrations in

this chapter depict the mounting of a DCS-7050QX-32S switch.

Les procédure de montage du bâti est identique pour tous les commutateurs visés

par ce guide. Illustrations dans ce chapitre montrent le montage d’un interrupteur de

DCS-7050QX-32S.

•

Two-Post Rack Mount provides instructions for mounting the switch in a two-post rack.

•

Four-Post Rack Mount provides instructions for mounting the switch in a four-post rack.

After completing the instructions for your rack type, proceed to Cabling the Switch.

Note: The switch must be installed from the front of the rack for both the two-post and four-

post installations.

3.1

Two-Post Rack Mount

To mount the switch onto a two-post rack, assemble the mounting brackets to the chassis, then attach

the brackets to the rack posts. Two-post accessory kits include the following two-post mounting parts:

2 three-hole Mounting Brackets

Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes. Pin orientation is symmetric and

equidistant, supporting bracket placements where the flange is flush with the front switch panel, flush

with the rear panel, or not flush with either panel. Each bracket hole includes a key-opening for placing

the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it into place.

Important:

Attachment pins must engage all three upper bracket holes.

Goupilles de fixation doivent être bloquer tous les trois trous de la bride supérieure.

configuration examples. Figure 5: Inserting the Switch into the Rack displays improper bracket mount

configuration examples.
