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 mount
the router in a rack before installing any modules and power supplies. You can mount one 32-slot
router in a standard 19-inch (EIA310-D) rack or in an open frame rack. 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.
