Juniper Networks EX8208 - Manual (Page 168)

CAUTION: If you are installing more than one switch in a rack or cabinet, install the first
switch at the bottom of the rack.
To install the switch using a mechanical lift (see Figure 48 on page 142):
1. Ensure that the rack or cabinet is placed in its permanent location and is secured to
the building. Ensure that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both
airflow and maintenance. For details, see “Clearance Requirements for Airflow and
Hardware Maintenance for an EX8208 Switch” on page 101.
2. Load the switch onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.

3. Using the lift, position the switch in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in front
of the adjustable mounting brackets and/or power cord tray installed in the rack.
4. Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) above the surface of the adjustable
mounting brackets/power cord tray. Position the chassis in the rack as close as
possible to resting on the support that the mounting brackets and/or power cord
tray provide.
5. In a four-post rack, carefully slide the switch onto the adjustable mounting brackets
until the front-mounting brackets (“ears”) attached to the chassis contact the rack
