Using front and rear mounting brackets
!
This installation method is applicable to switch models that are provided with front and rear mounting
brackets.
You can install the front mounting brackets near the port side or power side of the switch as needed.
(This section describes installation near the port side. The installation near the power module is
similar.)
The rear mounting brackets support wide-spacing installation and narrow-spacing installation. For
a switch with a depth of 360 mm (14.17 in), wide-spacing installation is applicable to a rack with a
depth in the range of 327 to 494 mm (12.87 to 19.45 in), and narrow-spacing installation is
applicable to a rack with a depth in the range of 172 to 339 mm (6.77 to 13.35 in). For a switch
with a depth of 460 mm (18.11 in), wide-spacing installation is applicable to a rack with a depth in
the range of 429 to 595 mm (16.89 to 23.43 in), and narrow-spacing installation is applicable to a
rack with a depth in the range of 274 to 440 mm (10.79 to 17.32 in). For narrow-spacing
installation, make sure the distance between the rear rack posts and the inside surface of the
cabinet door is greater than 153 mm (6.02 in).

Wide-spacing installation
Only switches that have two cross-shaped mounting holes in the bottom and come with screws of 20
mm (0.79 in) and screw anchors support wall mounting.
To avoid bodily injury, check the wall for the presence of electrical wires before drilling holes in the
wall.
Reserve a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in) around the switch for heat dissipation.
