Chapter 3 Rack Mounting the Switch
Important! The rack mounting procedure is identical for all switches covered by this guide. Illustrations in this
chapter depict the mounting of a DCS-7124SX switch.
The accessory kit provides components for installing the switch in two-post and four-post racks.
• Section 3.1 provides instructions for mounting the switch in a two-post rack.
• Section 3.2 provides instructions for mounting the switch in a four-post rack.
Both options require the attachment of mounting brackets to the switch chassis. Each chassis side
contains six pairs of holes that align with bracket holes. Bracket hole orientation is symmetric, allowing
bracket placements where the flange is flush with the front or rear switch panel (Figure 2).
Bracket holes are horizontally equidistant, allowing bracket placements where the flange is not flush
with either panel (Figure 3). This placement supports a center-rack mount.
After completing the instructions for your rack type, proceed to Chapter 4: Cabling the Switch.
3.1 Two-Post Rack Mount
To mount the switch onto a two-post rack, assemble the mounting brackets to the chassis, then attach
the brackets to the rack posts. The accessory kit includes the following two-post mounting parts:
• 2 mounting brackets
• 12 M4x5 flat head Phillips screws
