QNAP SP-EAR-QSW2FOR1-01 rack accessory mounting kit

The QNAP SP-EAR-QSW2FOR1-01 mounting kit is a silver-coloured accessory designed to facilitate secure installation of compatible QNAP network devices into a standard equipment rack. Supplied as a set of two pieces, the kit provides the metal ear brackets and mounting hardware needed to attach switches or compact appliances to rack rails, helping to maintain orderly server cabinets and reduce equipment movement.

Advantages

This mounting kit offers a straightforward way to mount compatible QNAP devices without modifying the device chassis. The silver finish blends with typical rack equipment, while the supplied pair ensures symmetrical support for small switches or compact units. As an accessory designed for networking environments, it helps optimise rack space and improves equipment stability during operation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Mounting compact QNAP switches in a 19-inch rack
• Securing small network appliances in server cabinets
• Organising rack-mounted networking equipment in data closets

Key specifications

• Colour: silver
• Contents: two mounting ear brackets with necessary fasteners
• Material: metal brackets suitable for rack installation
• Compatibility: designed for compatible QNAP network devices and compact switches

How to use

Attach each metal ear bracket to the sides of the compatible QNAP device using the supplied screws, ensuring the bracket aligns with the device mounting points. Position the device within the 19-inch rack so the brackets sit flush against the rack rails, then fasten through the bracket holes into the rack with appropriate rack screws. Confirm that all fasteners are tightened evenly to prevent stress on the device chassis and verify stable alignment before connecting power and network cables.

Recommendations

For safe installation, use rack screws and cage nuts appropriate for your rack type and follow standard rack-mounting procedures. Check device compatibility before installation and avoid over-tightening screws to prevent damage to the device or brackets.
