Rack Mounting the Switch
The rack mounting procedure is identical for all switches covered by this guide. Illustrations in this chapter depict the mounting of a DCS-7050QX-32S switch.
Les procédure de montage du bâti est identique pour tous les commutateurs visés par ce guide. Illustrations dans ce chapitre montrent le montage d’un interrupteur de DCS-7050QX-32S.
- Two-Post Rack Mount provides instructions for mounting the switch in a two-post rack.
- Four-Post Rack Mount provides instructions for mounting the switch in a four-post rack.
After completing the instructions for your rack type, proceed to Cabling the Switch.
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. Two-post accessory kits include the following two-post mounting parts:
2 three-hole Mounting Brackets
Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes. Pin orientation is symmetric and equidistant, supporting bracket placements where the flange is flush with the front switch panel, flush with the rear panel, or not flush with either panel. Each bracket hole includes a key-opening for placing the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it into place.
Attachment pins must engage all three upper bracket holes.
Goupilles de fixation doivent être bloquer tous les trois trous de la bride supérieure.
Figure 1 displays proper bracket mount configuration examples.Figure 4 displays improper bracket mount configuration examples.
Attaching Mounting Brackets to the Chassis (Two-Post)
The following figure displays improper bracket mounts for two-post rack mount.
- Align the mounting brackets with the attachment pins to obtain the desired mounting position.
- Place the bracket flush on the chassis with attachment pins protruding through key-openings.
- Slide the bracket toward the front flange until the bracket clip locks with an audible click.
The following figure shows the correct bracket attachment for a front mount.
1 | Step 1 | 4 | Bracket clip (attached) |
2 | Step 2 | 5 | Bracket clip (aligned) |
3 | Step 3 |
To remove the mounting bracket from the chassis, lift the front edge of the mounting bracket clip with a flathead screwdriver and slide the bracket away from the front flange (opposite from the installation direction).
Inserting the Switch into the Rack
Four-Post Rack Mount
The switch is mounted onto a four-post rack by assembling two rails onto the rear posts, sliding the switch onto the rails, then securing the switch to the front posts.
- 2 six-hole mounting brackets
- 2 rail-rods
- 2 rail-slides
The rail-rods and rail-slides assemble into two identical slide-rails.
Each chassis side has attachment pins that align with bracket holes. Pin orientation is symmetric and equidistant, supporting bracket placements where the flange is flush with the front switch panel, flush with the rear panel, or not flush with either panel. Each bracket hole includes a key-opening for placing the bracket flush with the chassis and then locking it into place.
Attachment pins must engage at least five of the six bracket holes.
Goupilles de fixation doivent être lock au moins cinq des trous du six support.
Figure 5 displays proper bracket mount configuration examples. Figure 6 displays an improper bracket mount configuration example.

This procedure attaches mounting brackets to the switch chassis as depicted in above figure.
Assembling the Rails onto the Equipment Rack
Each end of an assembled rail contains two rack plugs (Figure 8). The rails are installed into a rack by inserting the plugs into rack slots. When installing rails into posts with threaded or rounded holes, remove all plugs located on both sides of the assembled rails, then install the rails with bolts that fit the rack.

This procedure attaches the rails to a four post rack:
