Guidelines for Rackmount Installation

The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the requirements listed 

below:

• Appropriate grounded power receptacles must be located within 152 cm (5 ft) of the location.

• A temperature of between 0°C (32°F) and 50°C (122°F) must be maintained at the installation 

site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.

Attaching the Brackets and Installing in a Rack

The following section explains how to attach brackets to a 24 and 48 port switch and then how to 

install this switch in a rack. There are eight 24 and 48 port switches that can be installed following 

this procedure. They are the 08H20G4-24, 08H20G4-24P, 08H20G4-48, 08H20G4-48P, 08G20G4-24, 

08G20G4-24P, 08G20G4-48, and 08G20G4-48P. Proceed as follows to install the switch into a 

19-inch rack:

1. Attach the rackmount brackets to the switch, as shown in Figure 2-2, using the eight M3x6 

mm flathead screws shipped with the switch. 

Figure 2-2 Attaching the Rackmount Brackets

2. With the mounting brackets attached, position the switch between the vertical frame members 

of the 19-inch rack as shown in Figure 2-3. Then fasten the switch securely to the frame using 

four customer-supplied mounting screws.

Note: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of 

5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the left and right of the switch.

Warning: Before rack-mounting the switch, ensure that the rack can support it without 

compromising stability. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.

Advertencia: Antes de montar el equipo en el rack, asegurarse que el rack puede soportar su peso 

sin comprometer su propia estabilidad, de otra forma, daño personal o del equipo puede ocurrir.

Warnhinweis: Überzeugen Sie sich vor dem Einbau des Gerätes in das Rack von dessen 

Stabilität, ansonsten könnten Personenschäden oder Schäden am Gerät die Folge sein. 

Note: Do not install the rubber feet if you are rack mounting the switch.

Mounting the 8 Port Switches

The following mounting options are available for the 8 port switch. Each requires that you 

purchase a separate mounting kit. Proceed to mount the switch in your desired location using one 

of the procedures described in this section:

Install the switch in a table mount kit and mount the switch under a table, as described in 

“Installing the Switch Under a Table” on page 2-10.

Install the switch in a wall mount kit and mount the switch on a wall, as described in “Installing 

the Switch on a Wall” on page 2-12.

Install the switch in a lockbox kit and mount the switch on a wall, as described in “Installing the 

Switch in the Lockbox and Mounting on a Wall.” on page 2-14.
