4.2.1
Mount the Switch
The switch can be placed on a flat surface and stacked or mounted in a 19” EIA
rack. The top of each chassis has dimples to receive the rubber feet of a second
chassis stacked on top. Without the rubber feet, the switch occupies 1U of space
in an EIA rack. Mounting rails are required and available through QLogic
Corporation.
