Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco MDS 9100 Series

Installing the Switch in a Cabinet with Insufficient Front Clearance

Installing Front Rack-Mount Brackets for Cabinets with 26 Inches or Greater of Rail Spacings

The front rack-mount brackets for the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch must be installed onto the switch prior to installing the switch into the cabinet. Follow these steps for cabinets with front-mounting rail to rear-mounting rail spacings greater or equal to 26 inches.

Step 1 Install the front rack-mount brackets as follows:

a.Position one of the front rack-mount brackets against the side of the switch and align the screw holes as shown in Figure 2-8. Then attach the bracket to the switch with the three M4 screws originally provided with the bracket.

b.Repeat with the other front-rack mount bracket on the other side of the switch.

Step 2 Install the C brackets as follows:

Note Two C brackets are shipped preinstalled on the switch, using three M3 screws per bracket. This installation step is only necessary if the C brackets were removed.

a.Position one of the C brackets against the side of the switch and align the screw holes as shown in Figure 2-8. Then attach the bracket to the switch with the three M3 screws originally provided with the bracket.

b.Repeat with the other C bracket on the other side of the switch.
