Installing the Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296)
Use the following instructions to install the SLX 9140 switch in EIA racks that are between 31.77 to 81.28 cm deep (12.51 to 32.0 in.)
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
Hardware devices illustrated in these procedures are only for reference and may not depict the device you are installing into the
rack.
Installation requirements
Provide space in an EIA rack with a distance of 31.77 to 81.28 cm (12.51 to 32.0 in.) between the front and back posts.
Review the installation and facility requirements for your product before mounting the device. Refer to
