Installing a Brocade MLX-32 router in a rack

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 routers you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest router at
the bottom and progressively place lighter routers above.
Because of the weight of a fully loaded Brocade MLX-32 router, it is recommended that you install
the router in a rack before installing any modules and power supplies.
You can install one 32-slot router in a standard 2-post or 4-post 19-inch rack or open frame
cabinet, in either a front-mount position or a mid-mount position. You must provide eight standard
#12-24 pan-head screws to secure the router in the rack. You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver to
perform this task.
