Installing a Brocade MLX-32 router
The Brocade MLX-32 router can be installed on a 2-post Telco open frame rack or a 4-post enclosed rack or cabinet.
Preparing the installation site
Before installing the router, plan the location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. For cooling purposes, allow a
minimum of six inches of space between the sides, front, and the back of the router and walls or other obstructions. If a router is installed
within a perforated enclosure, the perforations must cover at least 60 percent of the surface.
You will need to use a mechanical lift to move and install the router. Be sure to allow enough working room for the lift.
NOTE
Make sure your site provides 200-240 AC power.
Ensure that the proper power and network cabling is installed at the site.
For information on cabling, refer to “Brocade MLX-32 cable management” on page 105, “Installing power supplies in a Brocade
MLX-32 router” on page 115, “Attaching a management station” on page 120, and “Connecting the router to a network device” on
page 209.
