4. Slide the router down so that the screw heads are in the narrow portion of the keyhole slots.
5. Tighten the screws to secure the router.
NOTE
To provide better grounding of the router to the rack, use star washers to attach the router. You can also use star washers with any
single-hole grounding lugs to prevent rotation of the lug.
6. Add additional screws as needed.
7. Repeat step 2 through step 6 to mount each subsequent router in the same rack.
Installing NetIron XMR 4000 modules
The NetIron XMR 4000 router ships with the required switch fabric modules installed.
The installation procedure in this section applies to all modules. The sequence for installing multiple modules is important to ensure
proper fit. The recommended sequence for the NetIron XMR 4000 router is to start with the lowest row, then move upwards from
right-to-left.
For instructions about installing 2x100GbE interface modules, refer to “Installing 2x100GbE interface modules in NetIron XMR routers”
on page 132.
The intra-building port or ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port or ports of the equipment or
subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or
its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports
