Introduction
This document provides instructions to install a 1U, 1.5U, or 2U switch (or SAN Router) in a 19-in. (48.3 cm) EIA
cabinet using the Fixed Rack Mount Kit.
The supported switches are listed in Table 1. The switch can be installed so that the port side is either flush with the
front rails or recessed from the front rails. A recessed position allows a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables
connected to the switch.
