Installing the NE1064TO in a Standard Equipment Rack
This section describes how to install the NE1064TO 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.
