Introduction

The supported switches are listed in Table 1. The switch can be installed so that the port side is either flush with the

front posts or recessed with the non-port side flush with the rear posts. A recessed position allows a more gradual

bend in the fiber-optic cables connected to the switch and less interference in the aisle at the front of the rack.
