Installing a Brocade MLX-4 router
This section describes how to install a Brocade
Preparing the installation site
Before installing the router, plan the location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. For cooling purposes, allow a minimum of six inches of space between the sides, front, and the back of the router and walls or other obstructions. If a router is installed in a perforated enclosure, the perforations must cover at least 60 percent of the surface.
