Table 26: Rack Requirements and Specifications for the Switch
(continued)
Guidelines
Rack Requirement
•
Ensure that the rack complies with one of these standards:
•
A 19-in. rack as defined in
Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment
(document number
EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association (
).
•
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the switch chassis' external
dimensions . The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets extend the width of the chassis to
19 in. (48.2 cm).
•
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the switch. A fully configured J-EX4200
switch weighs up to 22 lb (10 kg). If you mount multiple units in one rack, that rack must support
the total weight of the units.
•
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper clearance around the
switch and rack as specified in “Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance
for J-EX4200 Switches” on page 66.
Rack size and strength
•
Secure the rack to the building structure.
•
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
•
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets for maximum stability.
Rack connection to
building structure
One pair of mounting brackets for mounting the switch on two posts of a rack is supplied
with each switch. For mounting the switch on four posts of a rack or cabinet, you can
order a four-post rack-mount kit separately.

Cabinet Requirements for J-EX4200 Switches
You can mount the switch in a cabinet that contains a 19-in. rack.
Cabinet requirements consist of:
•
Cabinet size
•
Clearance requirements
•
Cabinet airflow requirements
