NVIDIA Rack Mount for Network Switch

Introducing the NVIDIA MTEF-KIT-D 19" Rack Installation Kit, a purpose-built mounting solution engineered for NVIDIA SN2100 and SN2010 series 1U half-width switches. This kit enables flexible deployment by supporting either one or two switches side-by-side in standard-depth 19-inch racks, making it ideal for dense data centers, edge deployments, labs, and serviced rooms. Built for reliability and straightforward serviceability, the rack mount provides a secure, vibration-resistant platform that preserves plug-and-play accessibility, clean cabling, and optimal airflow. With a strong emphasis on adaptability and ease of installation, the MTEF-KIT-D helps you maximize rack real estate while maintaining operational efficiency and scalable network performance. The kit’s design prioritizes quick setup, robust support, and an organized environment for mission-critical network hardware, ensuring your NVIDIA switches stay accessible for maintenance and upgrades without sacrificing performance or security in busy environments. Whether you’re expanding a data center, upgrading a lab lab, or outfitting a distributed edge site, this rack installation kit enables a tidy, scalable, and dependable mounting solution that grows with your network infrastructure.

• Versatile 1U, side-by-side mounting: accepts one SN2100 or SN2010, or two half-width switches side-by-side, maximizing rack density within a single 19" enclosure. This configuration preserves front-panel accessibility, simplifies port labeling, and minimizes the need for multiple racks in growing deployments, helping you optimize floor space and reduce cabling complexity.
• Rugged, rack-ready design: built to endure the rigors of data-center environments with solid mounting rails and sturdy bracketry to minimize vibration and movement during operation. The durable construction supports long-term reliability and steady performance in high-traffic networks, extending the lifecycle of your NVIDIA switches.
• Simple, industry-standard installation: designed for quick integration into standard-depth racks using included mounting hardware, with clear alignment features to reduce setup time and risk of misalignment. The kit leverages familiar 19" rack-hole patterns, enabling seamless compatibility with existing infrastructure and minimizing downtime during deployment or upgrades.
• Optimized airflow and cable management: thoughtful layout promotes clean cable routing and unobstructed cooling paths, helping maintain favorable temperatures for NVIDIA switches. By providing dedicated space for cables and proper ventilation, the kit supports stable operation and reduces the potential for thermal throttling in dense rack environments.
• Future-proof compatibility and easy maintenance: compatible with NVIDIA SN2100/SN2010 series, enabling straightforward upgrades and servicing within established rack infrastructure. The modular design simplifies swap-outs and routine maintenance, ensuring a professional rack appearance and minimal downtime when devices need replacement or expansion.

How to install NVIDIA Rack Mount for Network Switch

• Prepare your rack: confirm the rack supports 19" devices and has available mounting rails at the desired height. Ensure the rack can comfortably support the combined weight of the switches and the installation kit, with adequate clearance for airflow and cable management.
• Attach the rack-mount hardware: align the MTEF-KIT-D mounting brackets with the rack rails and secure them using the provided screws and cage nuts. Verify that the brackets are level and firmly fastened to prevent movement during operation.
• Mount the first switch: slide the SN2100 or SN2010 into the left slot (as configured for single or double-switch setups) and secure it with the supplied fasteners. Confirm proper alignment with the front panel and ensure ports are accessible for easy administration.
• Mount the second switch (if applicable): if you’re installing two switches, position the second half-width unit in the adjacent slot and secure it with the included hardware. Check that both switches align with the rack gear and have unobstructed front clearance for ventilation and cabling.
• Route cables and test: neatly route power and data cables using cable ties and routing channels to avoid interference with airflow. Power up the switches, verify link status, and perform a basic functionality check to confirm proper operation before finalizing cable management and enclosure closure.
