Installing ServerIron ADX

Mounting a ServerIron ADX chassis in a rack
NOTE
While attaching the chassis to the rack, star washers shall be used to provide better grounding of
the chassis to the rack. Additionally if any single hole grounding lugs are used star washers shall be
used as a means to prevent rotation of the lug.
To mount ServerIron ADX in a rack, follow these steps.
1. Determine the position of each chassis in the rack. For example, a ServerIron ADX 4000,
ServerIron ADX 8000 or ServerIron ADX 10000 chassis with the fewest modules should be on
top, a chassis with more modules than the top chassis in the middle, and a fully populated
chassis on the bottom.
2. Position the four screws for each chassis according to the spacings of the keyhole slots on the
mounting brackets as shown in Figure 15 for the ServerIron ADX 1000 and Figure 16 for the
ServerIron ADX 4000, ServerIron ADX 8000 and ServerIron ADX 10000. Do not secure the
screws completely; leave approximately 1/4 inch of clearance between the back of the screw
head and the rack.
