The 5320 Series provides multiple options for mounting or
installing the switch.
Mount Options
You can mount or install the device in the following ways:
All 5320 Series support
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.
All 5320 Series support mounting in a standard two-post rack. Rack mounting ears
are included with the device.
Additionally, both the
5320-16P-4XE and 5320-16P-4XE-DC support wall-mounting and under-the-table
mounting. Anchors and wood screws are included with the device.
Mount the Device on a
Table
5320 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: 5320
Series shows the locations for attaching the rubber mounting feet
on the switch.

Install the Device in a
Rack
This procedure uses a two-post mounting kit, which accommodates rack posts 3 inches
or 6 inches wide.
The two-post rack mount kit XN-2P-RMKIT-006 is required for models 5320- 48T-8XE,
5320-48P-8XE, 5320-24T-8XE, and 5320-24P-8XE. The two-post rack mount kit
XN-2P-RMKIT-007 is available for models 5320-16P-4XE and 5320-16P-4XE-DC. The 1U
two-post rack mount kit XN-2P-RMKIT-011 is also available for models 5320-16P-4XE
and 5320-16P-4XE-DC. The two-post rack mount kit XN-2P-RMKIT-008 is required for
models 5320-24T-24S-4XE-XT and 5320-24T-4X-XT. The two-post rack mount kits can also
be installed in a four-post rack, using just the two front posts or the two back
posts.
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 a switch to a two-post rack, follow these steps.
Attach a mounting bracket to each side of the switch, using the
screws provided. 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.
Note
Do not block the air vent
on the top of the unit. Leaving a space between units ensures adequate
airflow.
Note
Do
not overlap rack mounting ears when using the longer mounting ears.
Leaving a space between units ensures adequate airflow.

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.

Mount the Device on a Wall
(5320-16P models)
The 5320-16P switch models are constructed so that they can be mounted on a wall.
Ensure that the wall is strong enough to support the weight of the switch and the
attached cables.
Note
The front end of the switch must be
facing down, and the power inlet must be facing up when mounting a switch to the
wall.
To mount a switch to the wall, follow these steps.
Using the two holes in each short
mounting ear, mark the places on the wall to mount the switch. Each mounting ear
has two mounting holes, so be sure to make four marks. Be sure to position the
marks so that the switch is level when it is mounted.
Drill a hole at each mark.
Insert a provided anchor into
each hole. Gently tap each anchor with a hammer, if necessary, to ensure that it
is inserted tightly.
Mount the switch on the wall by
screwing a provided wood screw through each hole in the wall-mounting ears into
the anchors. Ensure that all screws are securely fastened and that the switch is
firmly attached to the wall.

There is a "cleaner" method of attaching the mounting ears to the switch so that they
are tucked under the switch instead of pointing away from the switch. Alternate method of attaching
larger mounting ears illustrates attaching the mounting ears so that they are
underneath the switch.

Mount the 5320-16P models Under a
Table
The 5320-16P switch models are constructed so that they can be mounted under a table.
Ensure that the table is strong enough to support the weight of the switch and the
attached cables.
To mount a switch under the table, follow these steps.
Using the two holes in each short
mounting ear, mark the places under the table to mount the switch. Each mounting
ear has two mounting holes, so be sure to make four marks.
Drill a hole at each mark.
Insert a provided anchor into
each hole, if an anchor is needed. Gently tap each anchor with a hammer, if
necessary, to ensure that it is inserted tightly.
Mount the switch under the table
by screwing a provided wood screw through each hole in the mounting ears into
the anchors. Ensure that all screws are securely fastened and that the switch is
firmly attached to under the table.
