2 Installing a BigIron RX-16 switch
Mounting a BigIron RX-16 chassis in a rack
Follow the steps given below to mount a BigIron
1.Determine the position of each chassis in the rack, for example, a chassis with the fewest modules on top, a chassis with more modules than the top chassis in the middle, and a fully populated chassis on the bottom.
2.Position the four screws for each chassis according to the spacings of the keyhole slots (the ones with the narrow portion pointing upwards) on the mounting brackets as shown in Figure 32. Do not secure the screws completely; leave approximately 1/4 inch of clearance between the back of the screw head and the rack.
