[j-nsp] Rack mounting a EX4200-48PX, concerned about weight

[Dantzig, Brian]

I have a number of the EX4200-48P switches with dual 930w PS racked and
have had no problems. They sag some but not as much as I have seen with
other equipment. If you are leaving space between them, you could use a
1u blanking plate on the back of a 2 post for support. The metal kind
anyway. The plastic ones won't be much help. I'd worry if I was in a
seismically active area.

I've got a couple of new EX4200-48PX with dual 930W power supply which
have just arrived and I'm quite concerned about the weight of the units
in relation to the rack ears. It is the same ears for the EX4200/3200
family.

Has anyone racked these before, if so how much sag do you get and do you
suggest a shelve underneath?

I've seen what a Cisco2811 does and how much it sags and this will be a
lot worse.

Thanks

James
