Mounting an EX2200 Switch

You can mount the switch:

  • On two posts in a 19-in. rack or cabinet by using the mounting brackets provided with the switch.
  • On four posts in a 19-in. rack or cabinet by using the separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit.
  • In a position recessed 2 in. from the front of a 19-in. rack or cabinet by using the 2-in.-recess front brackets in the separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit. You can mount the switch in this recessed position on two-post or four-post racks and cabinets.
  • On a desk or other level surface by using rubber feet. The switch is shipped with four rubber feet to be used to stabilize the chassis on a desk or other level surface.
  • On a wall by using the separately orderable wall-mount kit.
    • When mounting an EX2200 switch chassis in a vertical position, orient the front panel of the chassis downward to ensure proper airflow and meet safety requirements in the event of a fire.
    • When wall-mounting Power over Ethernet (PoE) models (EX2200-24P and EX2200-48P), install the wall-mount baffle above the units to reduce the risk of objects or substances falling into the air exhaust or power supply, which could cause a fire.

The holes in the mounting brackets are placed at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm.) apart so that the switch can be mounted in any rack or cabinet that provides holes spaced at that distance.
