Mounting an EX3200 or EX4200 Switch in a Recessed Position in a Rack or Cabinet

You can mount an EX3200 or EX4200 switch 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 an uplink module with transceivers mounted in it—the transceivers in the uplink module 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 EX3200 or EX4200 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 EX3200 or EX4200 Switch on Two Posts in a Rack or Cabinet.
