Use the following steps to mount devices in a 4-post rack.

CAUTION

Do not use the hardware supplied in a 2-post rack mounting kit to mount a Brocade ICX 6650 device in a 4-post rack. Mounting the device in a 4-post rack requires additional hardware to prevent drooping from possible flexing and distortion of the 4-post rack when a device is not properly installed.

1.Attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the device as illustrated in Figure 8 above using the 8-32 x 5/16 in. screws.

2.Attach the appropriate rails: either side attach or rear attach at determined by the type of rack in which you are installing the device.

Figure 11 and Figure 12 show exploded views of the optional 4-post rack mount kit.
