Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket

The optional Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket Kit can temporarily or permanently support the IBM Storage Networking SAN16C-R Switch during installation. After the front rack-mount brackets are securely attached to the rack-mounting rails, the shelf bracket can be removed.

The Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket kit supports the following configurations:

  • A IBM Storage Networking SAN16C-R Switch in a two-post Telco rack

  • A IBM Storage Networking SAN16C-R Switch in a four-post EIA rack

Note: Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket optional kit is not provided with the switch; to order the kit, contact your switch supplier.
