You can also mid-mount your 4-, 8- or 16-slot router in a rack using the brackets that ship with the router. You simply remove the
brackets from the front of the router and mount them midway along the sides of the router. For more information, see the installation
chapter appropriated for your router model.
Brocade MLXe Series routers can also be mounted in a EIA rack or 4-post rack using optional rack mount kits available from Brocade.
For information about how to install your Brocade MLXe Series router in a EIA rack or 4-post rack, refer to
