Juniper EX2200 Series Guide

Mounting an EX2200 Switch on a Wall
You can mount an EX2200 switch on a wall by using the separately orderable
wall-mount kit.
WARNING:
■When mounting an EX2200 switch chassis in a vertical position, orient the front
panel of the chassis downward to ensure proper airflow and meet safety
requirements in the event of a fire.
■When wall-mounting Power over Ethernet (PoE) models (EX2200-24P and
EX2200-48P), install the wall-mount baffle above the units to reduce the risk of
objects or substances falling into the air exhaust or power supply, which could
cause a fire.
Before mounting the switch on a wall:
■Verify that the site meets the requirements described in Site Preparation Checklist
for EX2200 Switches.
■Read General Safety Guidelines and Warnings for EX Series Switches, with
particular attention to Chassis Lifting Guidelines for EX2200 Switches.
■Remove the switch from the shipping carton (see Unpacking an EX2200 Switch).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
■2 wall-mount brackets (provided in the wall-mount kit)
■1 wall-mount baffle (provided in the wall-mount kit)
■12 wall-mount bracket screws (provided in the wall-mount kit)
■6 mounting screws (8-32 x 1.25 in. or M4 x 30 mm) (not provided)
■Hollow wall anchors rated to support up to 75 lb (34 kg) if you are not screwing
the screws directly into wall studs (not provided)
■Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 (not provided)
Mounting an EX2200 Switch on a Wall ■1

To mount one or two switches on a wall:
1. Attach the wall-mount brackets to the sides of the chassis using four wall-mount
bracket screws on each side, as shown in Figure 1.

2. If you are mounting two switches together, align the second switch on top of the
first and attach it to the mounting brackets using two additional wall-mount
bracket screws on each side (Figure 3 shows two aligned switches).
3. Install six mounting screws in the wall for the wall-mount brackets and baffle as
shown in Figure 2:
■Use hollow wall anchors rated to support up to 75 lb (34 kg) if you are not
inserting the mounting screws directly into wall studs.
■Turn the screws only part way in, leaving about 1/4 in. (6 mm) distance
between the head of the screw and the wall.
a. Install screw A.
b. Install screw B18.68 in. (47.4 cm) from screw Aon a level line.
c. Install screw C5.98 in. (15.2 cm) on a plumb line down from screw Aand
screw D5.98 in. down from screw B.
d. For PoE models, install screw E2.76 in. (7 cm) up from and 8.32 in. (21.1 cm)
to the right of screw A.
e. For PoE models, install screw F4.49 in. (11.4 cm) to the right of screw E.
