page 39 .
 For a Lenovo System x or Power 4-post rack, use the Lenovo Adjustable 19”

Installing the NE1072T in a Standard Equipment Rack
This section describes how to install the NE1072T 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.
