To unpack the switch:
1. Move the shipping carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible, but where you
have enough room to remove the system components.
2. Position the carton so that the arrows are pointing up.
3. Open the top flaps on the shipping carton.
4. Pull out the packing material holding the switch in place.
5. Verify the parts received against the inventory on the label attached to the carton. See Parts Inventory
(Packing List) for an EX4300 Switch.
6. Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the switch later.
Mounting an EX4300 Switch
You can mount an EX4300 switch:
•
On two posts of a 19-in. rack or a 19-in. cabinet by using the mounting brackets provided with the
switch.
•
On four posts of a 19-in. rack or a 19-in. cabinet by using the separately orderable four-post rack-mount
kit.
•
In a position recessed 2 in. from the front of a 19-in. rack or a 19-in. cabinet by using the 2-in.-recess
front brackets in the separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit. You can mount the switch in this
recessed position on two-post or four-post racks and cabinets.
•
On a wall by using the separately orderable wall-mount kit.
The holes in the mounting brackets are placed at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) apart so that the switch can be
mounted in any rack or cabinet that provides holes spaced at that distance.
See the Related Documentation for detailed descriptions of the various rack or cabinet mounting options.
