Installing the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296)
Use the following instructions to install a device in EIA racks that are between L-12.7 to 81.28 cm deep (L-5.0 to 32.0 in.), where L is the chassis depth, using the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296).
There are two ways you can mount the device in a four-post rack:
- With the port side flush with the front posts
- With the nonport side flush with the rear posts in a recessed position
A recessed position allows a more gradual bend in the fiber-optic cables connected to the switch and less interference in the aisle at the front of the rack.
Note: Although this document describes how to install both single height (1U) and double
height (2U) switches, the illustrations show a 1U switch as a typical installation.
Note: Hardware devices illustrated in these procedures are only for reference and may not
depict the device you are installing into the rack.
