This document describes the installation process for switches that are supported on ExtremeXOS version 16.x. For information about installing other series switches, refer to for ExtremeSwitching Hardware Installation Guide for Switches Using ExtremeXOS Version 30.

ExtremeSwitching and switches fit into standard 19-inch equipment racks.

The provided rack-mounting brackets attach to the front of the switch and are adaptable to either a front-mount or mid-mount installation. Rear-mounting brackets are included with some switch models for four-post racks or cabinets.

To install an Extreme Networks switch, refer to the specific instructions for your switch model.
