Mounting an EX2200 Switch in a Recessed Position in a Rack or Cabinet

You can mount an EX2200 switch except the EX2200-C switch model in a rack or cabinet such that the switch is recessed inside the rack from the rack front by 2 inches. You can use the 2-in.-recess front brackets provided in the separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit to mount the switch in a recessed position.

Reasons that you might want to mount the switch in a recessed position include:

• You are mounting the switch in a cabinet and the cabinet doors will not close completely unless the switch is recessed.
• The switch you are mounting has transceivers installed in the uplink ports—the transceivers in the uplink ports protrude from the front of the switch.

To mount the switch in a recessed position on four posts, follow the instructions in Mounting an EX2200 Switch on Four Posts in a Rack or Cabinet. To mount the switch in a recessed position on two posts, follow the instructions in Mounting an EX2200 Switch on Two Posts in a Rack or Cabinet.
