The 4120 Series provides multiple options for mounting or
installing the switch.
Mount Options
You can mount or install the device in the following ways:
The 4120 Series supports mounting as a standalone unit on a flat surface, such
as a table top. Use the rubber feet included with the device to secure the
device on the surface. No other equipment is required for table
installation
The 4120 Series support mounting in a standard two-post rack or four-post
rack. Rack mounting ears are included with the device.
Mount the Device on a
Table
4120 Series switches provide four self-adhesive rubber
pads for mounting on tables or other flat surfaces. The pads keep the switch from
scratching the supporting surface and help ensure adequate airflow around the
switches when they are mounted on top of one another. You can safely place up to
four switches on top of one another.
Caution
Do not place other
equipment on top of table-mounted switches.
To mount a switch on a table - or any firm, flat surface - follow these steps.
Carefully separate the four
rubber pads that are provided
Apply the pads to the underside
of the switch by placing a pad at each corner, ensuring that all corners are
aligned. Table Mount: 4120 Series shows the locations for attaching the rubber mounting feet
on the switch.

Install the Device in a Rack
The 4120 Series can be installed in a four-post rack, using just the two front posts
or two back posts, or a two-post rack.
A two-post rack-mounting kit XN-2P-RMKIT-008 is included in the box with your switch.
The rack mount kit contains an instruction sheet, along with the following
components:
Mounting ears (2 count)
Mounting ear screws (8
count)
Rack mounting ears can support two configurations: flush- and mid-mount.
Take care to load the rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start installing equipment at
the bottom and work up.
To attach the switch to a rack, follow these steps:
Attach a mounting bracket to each
side of the switch. Align each mounting bracket so that the flange (ear) faces
the front of the switch to flush-mount, or faces the rear of the switch to
mid-mount.
The following figures illustrate how to attach the mounting
ears for two common mounting options.

the Mounting Ears to the Switch
Mid-Mount: Attaching
the Mounting Ears to the Switch
With the mounting brackets
attached, position the switch between the vertical rack rails of the 19-inch
rack.
Fasten the switch securely to the
rack rails using four customer-supplied rack screws. Ensure that the threaded
length of the screws is within 4 to 5 cm.

The switch comes with an installed power supply, so you can skip to the topic: Turn on the Switch.
If you want to add an additional replaceable power supply, install the power supply
using the instructions in Remove and Replace an AC Power Supply.
