Installing the G7028 in a Standard Equipment Rack
This section describes how to install the G7028 in a standard 19-inch equipment
rack using the mounting kit included with the switch. For information about mounting
the switch in other supported racks, see the appropriate section in this chapter.
The following parts are included in the standard mounting kit.
Attention:
The rack-mounting frame may be unable to support the weight of the
switch with only the front post mounting brackets (2-post application). If the switch
has an undesirable amount of sag, it is recommended to use a 4-post mounting kit.
Attention:
For earthquake stability, mount the switch in a 4-post rack.
