Installing A Netiron Xmr 16000 Router In A Rack - Brocade Communications Systems MLX Series Installation Manual

Lifting guidelines for NetIron XMR 16000 routers
A fully-populated NetIron XMR 16000 router is heavy. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN
LIFTING, HANDLING, OR MOUNTING THESE DEVICES.
Follow these guidelines for lifting and moving a NetIron XMR 16000 router:
•
Before lifting or moving the router, disconnect all external cables.
•
Do not attempt to lift a fully configured router by yourself. If possible, use a mechanical lift to maneuver the router into a rack. If a
lift cannot be used, a minimum of two people must lift the router, and you must remove components from the router before
lifting.

Installing a NetIron XMR 16000 router in a rack

Keep the following precautions in mind when installing a NetIron XMR 16000 router in a rack:
A fully-populated NetIron XMR 16000 router is heavy. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN
LIFTING, HANDLING, OR MOUNTING THESE DEVICES.
Do not use the handles on the power supply units to lift or carry routers.
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the router is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable or falling over.
Mount the router in a rack or cabinet as close to the floor as possible. Place the heaviest router at the
bottom and progressively place lighter routers above.
Because of the weight of a fully loaded NetIron XMR 16000 router, it is recommended that you mount it in a rack before installing
modules and AC power supplies.
You can install up to three NetIron XMR 16000 routers in a standard 19-inch (EIA310-D) rack. You can install your device in a front-mount
or a mid-mount configuration using the factory-installed mounting brackets. For a mid-mount configuration, simply remove the brackets
from the front edges of the device and re-attach them to the center sides of the device using the pre-drilled holes.
You must provide four standard #12-24 pan-head screws for each NetIron XMR 16000 router that you install in a rack. To perform this
task, you will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Follow these steps to mount a NetIron XMR 16000 router in a rack.
