Installing a Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router

Installing a Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router in a rack

Keep the following precautions in mind when installing a Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router in a rack:

DANGER

A fully-populated Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router is heavy. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN LIFTING, HANDLING, OR MOUNTING THESE DEVICES.

DANGER

Do not use the handles on the power supply units to lift or carry routers.

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 router in a rack or cabinet as close to the floor as possible. Place the heaviest router at the bottom and progressively place lighter routers above.

Because of the weight of a fully loaded Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router, it is recommended that you mount it in a rack before installing modules and AC power supplies.

You can install up to three Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 routers in a standard 19-inch (EIA310-D) rack. You can install your device in a front-mount or a mid-mount configuration using the factory-installed mounting brackets. For a mid-mount configuration, simply remove the brackets from the front edges of the device and re-attach them to the center sides of the device using the pre-drilled holes.

You must provide four standard #12-24 pan-head screws for each Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router that you install in a rack. To perform this task, you will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

Follow these steps to mount a Brocade NetIron XMR 16000 router in a rack.

1.Determine the position of each router in the rack. For example, mount a router with the fewest modules near the top, a router with more modules near the middle, and a fully populated router near the bottom of the rack.

2.Position the four mounting screws for each router in the rack posts according to the spacings of the keyhole slots (the ones with the narrow portion pointing up) on the mounting brackets as shown in Figure 184. When tightening the screws, leave approximately 1/4 inch clearance between the back of the screw head and the rack post.
