Chapter 2 Preparing to Install
IGX 8420 or IGX 8430 Enclosure Installation
The rear-mount brackets attach to the rear vertical rail in a Cisco cabinet. Each of these brackets has a
horizontal flange upon which the back of each IGX component rests. The front of each assembly chassis
has flanges that serve as the front mounting brackets.
Caution If an IGX node is mounted in a user-supplied cabinet, be sure that air can flow unrestricted in and out
of the cabinet. For assistance, see the “Obtaining Technical Assistance” section on page xxiii.
To install the IGX 8420 node in a rack:
Step 1 Decide on the IGX location. See Figure 2-6 for dimensions.
Caution When moving a Cisco cabinet, do not push the cabinet at its sides. Instead, grip its front or back edges.

Step 4 Position the IGX card cage so that the back of it faces the rack.
