Installing Brocade MLXe Series-4 and Brocade MLXe Series-8 routers in a 4-post EIA
rack
This section describes how to install Brocade MLXe Series-4 or MLXe-8 routers in a 4-post EIA rack using the RMK-CAB-MLXE-4 or
RMK-CAB-MLXE-8 4-Post Rack Mount Kits.
To install a Brocade MLXe Series-16 router, use the RMK-CAB-MLXE-16 4-Post Rack Mount Kit, and refer to Installing a Brocade
MLXe Series-16 router in a 4-post EIA rack on page 125.
NOTE
Because of the weight of fully loaded routers, it is recommended that you mount the router in an EIA rack before installing
modules and power supplies.
You can install up to six Brocade MLXe Series-4 routers in an EIA rack using the RMK-CAB-MLXE-4 4-Post Rack Mount Kit. You can
install up to four Brocade MLXe Series-8 routers in an EIA rack using the RMK-CAB-MLXE-8 4-Post Rack Mount Kit.
Many of the parts in these rack mount kits can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of EIA rack configurations.
Mounting your router in a 4-post EIA rack
Follow these steps to mount each Brocade MLXe Series-4 or Brocade MLXe Series-8 router in an EIA rack using the 4-Post EIA rack
Mount Kit, starting with the lowest device first.
The kits contain a variety of screws, nuts, clip nuts, and washers, for use in the following ways:
∙ Use floating clip nuts in EIA racks with round holes.
∙ Use retainer nuts in EIA racks with square holes.
∙ Use the square alignment washers for both round and square holes.
Select the appropriate hardware for your EIA rack configuration.
