Rack mount kit

The BigIron RX Series switches are shipped equipped for mounting in a standard 19-inch
(EIA310-D) rack as described:

The BigIron RX-4 and BigIron RX-8 are equipped with built-in mounting brackets and are
shipped with mounting screws.

Alternatively, you can use a mid-mount kit (ordered separately) to center-mount the BigIron RX
chassis using two L-shaped mounting brackets. The mid-mount kit comes with instructions for
installing the mounting brackets and mounting the device in a rack.

BigIron RX-16 – up to 3 BigIron RX-16 chassis
