Take care to load the rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start installing equipment at the bottom and work

up.

Note

The X440-G2 and X620 switches can be front-mounted or mid-mounted to a two-post rack

only. They cannot be attached to a four-post rack or cabinet.

1 On one side of the switch, set a mounting bracket against the switch housing.

Set the ﬂange even with the front panel of the switch – or, if you are mid-mounting the switch in a

two-post rack, set the ﬂange toward the back of the switch.

The following ﬁgures illustrate how to attach the brackets for two common mounting options.

•

Figure 134 shows a mid-mount conﬁguration using a long mounting bracket.

•

Figure 135 shows a front-mount conﬁguration using a short mounting bracket.

Note

For some switch models, only short mounting brackets are provided.
