Installing a Brocade MLX-32 router
FIGURE 67 Secure the router to the rack
6. Remove the strap securing the router to the mechanical lift.
7. With two people in front and two people in back, slide the router into the rack.
8. For a mid-mount, remove the factory-installed mounting brackets from the front edges of the device. Re-attach the mounting
brackets to the center sides of the device using the pre-drilled holes in the device. For a front-mount, use the brackets as they
were installed at the factory.
9. If you are installing the router in a standard rack, install a mounting screw and a cage nut into each of the holes on the rack posts
aligned with the threaded holes in the spacer bars.
NOTE
When connecting the chassis to the rack frame, use thread-forming screws and paint-piercing washers.
10. Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in the rack, the mounting screws on one side of the
rack should align with the mounting screws on the opposite side and the router should be level. Add all remaining screws.
