Mounting a J-EX4500 Switch on Four Posts in a Rack or Cabinet
You can mount a J-EX4500 switch on four posts of a 19-in. rack or cabinet by using the
separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit. (The remainder of this topic uses “rack”
to mean “rack or cabinet.”)
You can mount the switch on two posts in either a two-post rack or a four-post rack by
using the mounting brackets provided with the switch. See “Mounting a J-EX4500 Switch
on Two Posts in a Rack or Cabinet” on page 78.
