Introduction
This document provides instructions to install a 1U, 1.5U, or 2U switch (or SAN Router) in a 19-in. (48.3 cm) EIA
cabinet using the Fixed Rack Mount Kit.
The supported switches are listed in Table 1. The switch can be installed so that the port side is either flush with the
front rails or recessed from the front rails. A recessed position allows a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables
connected to the switch.
Installation requirements
Allow 15 to 30 minutes to complete this procedure. Note the following requirements to ensure correct installation
and operation:
• Provide space in a 19-in. (48.3 cm) EIA cabinet, as required for the switch type, with a minimum distance of
28.25 in. (71.76 cm) and a maximum distance of 29.88 in. (75.90 cm) between the front and back rails.
• Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits.
