Mounting an EX4500 Switch in a Recessed Position in a Rack or Cabinet
You can mount an EX4500 switch in a rack or cabinet such that the switch is recessed inside the rack from the rack front by 2 inches. Use the front brackets provided in the separately orderable four-post rack-mount kit to mount the switch in a recessed position.
Reasons 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 installed 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 EX4500 Switch on Four Posts in a Rack or Cabinet.
 | Note: You cannot mount the EX4500 switch in a recessed position in a two-post rack or cabinet. |
