Dell PowerConnect J-8216, Hardware Manual

Page: 120 / 270

When you install the adjustable mounting brackets, the “arms” of the brackets overlap.
The overlap area adjusts the total bracket length to fit three standard rack sizes: 23.62
in. (600 mm), 30 in. (762 mm), and 31.5 in. (800 mm).
To install the mounting brackets in a four-post rack (see Figure 39 on page 105 and Figure
40 on page 106):
1.
Remove the adjustable mounting brackets from the accessory box.
2.
Decide where to position the switch in the rack. If the rack is empty, position the switch
in the lowest possible location. See “Rack Requirements for a J-EX8216 Switch” on
page 69 and “Cabinet Requirements and Specifications for a J-EX8216 Switch” on
page 71.
3.
If your rack has unthreaded round or square holes, install 8 cage nuts in the appropriate
holes on the
left front and left rear rack posts, making sure that the 4 cage nuts on
each post are on the same rack level front and back.
Use Figure 37 on page 104 or Figure 38 on page 104 to help you with cage-nut installation.

4.
Position the left front adjustable mounting bracket at the desired position in the left
side of the rack and line up its front screw holes with the holes in the rack.
5.
Use 4 mounting screws appropriate for your rack—plus washers if you installed cage
nuts—to attach the left front bracket to the rack.
6.
Position one of the rear brackets at the left rear of the rack on the same level as the
left front bracket, so that the rear bracket overlaps with the left front bracket. The
screw holes for connecting the front and rear brackets should overlap.
7.
Use 4 mounting screws appropriate for your rack—plus washers if you installed cage
nuts—to attach the left rear bracket to the rack.
