Follow these steps to mount a Brocade NetIron XMR 4000 router in a rack.
1.Determine the position of each router in the rack. For example, place routers with the fewest modules near the top of the rack, routers with more modules near the middle of the rack, and fully populated routers near the bottom of the rack.
2.Position two of the four mounting screws for each router according to the spacings of the keyhole slots on the mounting brackets, as shown in Figure 169. When tightening the mounting screws in the rack post, leave approximately 1/4 inch clearance between the back of the screw head and the rack post.
