Rack Mount Ear Positioning
If you are installing the SSA switch using the SSA-FB-MOUNTKIT optional rack mount kit, proceed to
Optional Rack Mount Rail Kit Installation on page 52.
When shipped from the factory, the SSA switch has rack mount ears attached to the edge of the side of
the switch containing the I/O ports in a flush mount configuration, as shown in callout 1,
Figure 3 on
page 13. If you are mounting the switch using the factory positioning of the rack mount ears, go to
Securing the SSA Switch to the Rack on page 20.
The rack mount ears can be repositioned providing three alternative mounting options, which are
described in the following topics:
•
Flush-Mount Configuration with Power Supply Facing Front on page 17
•
Mid-Mount Configuration with I/O Ports Facing Front on page 18
•
Mid-Mount Configuration with Power Supply Facing Front on page 19
Flush-Mount Configuration with Power Supply Facing Front
The flush-mount, power supply facing front, configuration is depicted in callout 2, Figure 3 on page 13.
This SSA switch rack mount configuration requires the repositioning of the rack mount ears on both
sides of the device.
To reposition the rack mount ears for this configuration, follow these steps:
1 Remove the screw by the three holed ear, as shown in Figure 6 on page 18 callout 1, and loosen the
opposite screw, shown by callout 2.
2 Pivot the rack mount ear at the loosened screw, shown by callout 3, repositioning the rack mount ear
so that the three-holed ear is flush with the switch I/O port side of the device.
3 Reinsert the front screw, shown by callout 4, and retighten the middle screw, shown by callout 5.
