Most importantly how much space is behind the switches? if there's room for them to move back, then take the sides of the cabinet and move the rails backwards? - Also make sure the mounting brackets on the switches have not been put on backwards!<br />
<br />
(Remember to allow for the Power Cables (unless you can get some 90 degree ones), and any other rear mounted cables.<br />
<br />

I just arrived on site at a colo where a vendor installed a patch panel and 6 Cisco switches. The cabinet door won't close because the switches and the patch panel are mounted flush with the front rack posts, so the cables (especially, the fiber connectors) extend out from the switch preventing the door from closing. So I've called the vendor and they are going to help but not now. <br />

These are Cisco 93180 switches, with port side intake. How should these switches be installed in a rack with doors that close flush with the front posts? On a shelf? Is there a way to recess the switch?
