Either you can install an 8.5-inch switch or two 8.5-inch switches in a standard 19-inch network
equipment rack. In the following sections, we will take a Managed Switch for example to separately
demonstrate how to mount it or them in this size of rack space.
WARNING!
Please mount the Switch firmly in rack, otherwise it may fall and cause the
system damage and possible injury to personnel
.
