Chapter 8: Installing the Switch NOTE: You must provide mounting screws that are appropriate for your rack or cabinet to front-mount the chassis on a rack or a cabinet. For four-post rack installation, you need either 36 or 40 screws: 20 screws to attach the front-mounting bracket "ears" that come installed on the chassis to the front of the rack, 16 screws to attach the adjustable mounting brackets to the rack, and 4 screws if you install the optional power cord tray. Two-post rack installation is not supported for the J-EX8216 switch.

(The remainder of this topic uses "rack" to mean "rack or cabinet.") The J-EX8200 switch comes with a four-piece set of adjustable mounting brackets that supports the chassis in the rack. The four adjustable mounting bracket pieces are: • 1 left front adjustable mounting bracket. The bracket is labeled "LEFT FRONT" on the side of the bracket that faces the interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack. • 1 right front adjustable mounting bracket. The bracket is labeled "RIGHT FRONT" on the side of the bracket that faces the interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack. • 2 rear adjustable mounting brackets. These brackets are labeled "REAR" on the side of the bracket that faces the interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack. The rear brackets are interchangeable; you can use either of the rear brackets with the right or left front adjustable mounting bracket. Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the adjustable mounting brackets: • A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1, 2, or 3, depending on the size of your rack mounting screws • A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 to install the screws that connect the rear and front mounting brackets • A flat-blade (-) screwdriver if you are installing the switch in a rack with square, nonthreaded holes • 16 screws-and 16 cage nuts and washers if your rack requires them-of the appropriate size to attach the four mounting bracket pieces to the rack (provided) 103
