Introduction
The supported switches are listed in Table 1 . The switch can be installed so that the port side is either flush with the
front posts or recessed with the non-port side flush with the rear posts. A recessed position allows a more gradual
bend in the fiber-optic cables connected to the switch and less interference in the aisle at the front of the rack.
