Installing a NetIron XMR 8000 router
Lifting guidelines for NetIron XMR 8000 routers
A fully-populated NetIron XMR 8000, router is heavy. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN
LIFTING, HANDLING, OR MOUNTING THESE DEVICES.
Follow these guidelines for lifting and moving a NetIron XMR 8000 router:
•
Before lifting or moving the router, disconnect all external cables.
•
Do not attempt to lift a fully configured router by yourself. Use two people to lift the router, and remove components from the
router before lifting.
Installing the NetIron XMR 8000 router in a rack
Because of the weight of a fully loaded NetIron XMR 8000 router, Brocade recommends mounting the router in a rack before installing
the modules and AC power supplies.
You can install up to six NetIron XMR 8000 routers in a standard 19 in. (EIA310-D) rack. You can install your devices in a front-mount or
mid-mount configuration using the factory-installed mounting brackets. For a mid-mount configuration, simply remove the
factory-installed brackets from the front edge of the device and re-attach them to the center sides of the device using the pre-drilled
holes.
For each NetIron XMR 8000 router you install in a rack, you must provide four standard #12-24 pan-head screws to secure the router.
Before performing this task, you should have an assembled rack and a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
Follow these steps to mount a NetIron XMR 8000 router in a rack.
1. Determine the position of each router in the rack. For example, install routers with the fewest modules near the top of a rack,
routers with more modules near the middle of the rack, and fully populated routers near the bottom of the rack.
2. Position two of the four mounting screws for each router according to the spacings of the keyhole slots on the mounting
brackets, as shown in Figure 102. When tightening the screws leave approximately 1/4 inch clearance between the back of the
screw head and the rack post.
