Page 45: Installing The Switch In A Cabinet With Insufficient Front Clearance
Installing the Switch in a Cabinet with Insufficient Front Clearance This section describes how to use the rack-mount kit provided with the switch to install the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch into a cabinet with insufficient front-facing clearance. The Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch is installed rear-facing to provide adequate clearance for the fibre-optic cables.
Page 46 This rear-facing installation is necessary to ensure that the minimum bend radius for the fiber-optic cables is maintained. In these cabinets, the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch is mounted backwards, with the fiber-optic cables facing toward the rear of the cabinet and the power supplies facing the front of the cabinet.
Page 47: Installing Front Rack-Mount Brackets For Cabinets With 26 Inches Or Greater Of Rail Spacings
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.
