Installing a BPX Switch Shelf, Preliminary Steps
The BPX switch shelf is designed for mounting in a standard 19-inch (48.25 cm.) equipment rack such
as the standard Cisco cabinet. A minimum width between rails of 17.750 inches (44.45 cm) is required
(see Figure 7-4 and Figure 7-5).
Mounting flanges are permanently attached to the front edge of the BPX switch shelf. It is
recommended that you mount the shelf with all plug-in cards temporarily removed to lessen the weight.
There are two types of BPX switch shelves with special installation requirements:
