Mounting Brocade MLXe-4, -8, or -16 routers in a 4-post rack or cabinet 2

Installing a Brocade MLXe-16 router in a cabinet or 4-post rack

Using the Cabinet/4-Post Rack Mount Kit, you can install up to four Brocade MLXe-8 routers in a cabinet or rack.

DANGER

Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the router is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.

DANGER

Mount the routers you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest router at the bottom and progressively place lighter routers above to prevent the rack or cabinet from becoming top-heavy and tipping over.

1.Remove the factory-installed mounting brackets from the sides of the router.

2.Attach the cabinet mounting brackets to the front of the router using the 12 8-32 flat head screws. Refer to Figure 71.
